Volubilis, Moulay Idriss & Meknes Private Day Trip

Embark on an enriching excursion from Fez that takes you in a private vehicle to explore the historic Roman site of Volubilis, the revered city of Moulay Idriss, and the imperial city of Meknes. You will have the opportunity to uncover the highlights of each location at your own rhythm.

Tour Overview

Your adventure will commence with a pickup from your hotel or riad in Fez. We will journey westward to our first destination: Volubilis.

This ancient Roman settlement boasts the most significant archaeological finds in Morocco. Once there, you'll enjoy 1 to 2 hours of leisure time to wander through the site, appreciate its stunning mosaics and towering colonnades, and immerse yourself in the echoes of Roman splendor on the African continent.

After our exploration of the ruins, we will proceed to Moulay Idriss, a vital pilgrimage destination. This town features one of the most charming and serene medinas in Morocco. You will have about 1 hour to delve into this quaint holy city, named after Idriss I, the founder of the Idrissid dynasty and a direct descendant of the Prophet Muhammad. The ambiance here is truly distinctive!

Our final visit will take us to Meknes, known as the most understated yet arguably the most genuine of Morocco's four imperial cities. You’ll have free time to savor lunch and explore the city's key attractions. We suggest wandering through the souk, admiring the magnificent Bab Mansour Gate, and savoring a mint tea in the bustling El Hedim Square.

After a day full of discoveries, we will return to Fez, concluding your experience with a drop-off at your accommodation in the late afternoon. The entire tour spans roughly 10 hours.
