Descrição

Take this tour to the ancient imperial city of Meknes, and the impressive Roman ruins of Volubilis, two archaeological jewels nestled at the foot of the Atlas Mountains.

Meknes and Volubilis Private Trip

We will collect you from your accommodation or the arranged meeting point in Casablanca. After departing, we’ll journey towards the Middle Atlas mountain range. The beautiful city of Meknes awaits us, located approximately 200 kilometers away, which we will reach after about two and a half hours of travel.

Upon arrival in this historic city, once the capital of Morocco for over half a century, we will embark on a walk around the vibrant market filled with traditional products. Are you ready to engage in a bit of local haggling?

Next, we will visit the magnificent gateway of Bab Mansour, the largest in the country and all of northern Africa. This gateway is recognized as the most beautiful of all the imperial cities. Additionally, you will come across the Mausoleum of Moulay Ismail, the sultan who ruled Morocco from 1672 until his death in 1721 and established Meknes as the capital of the Empire.

After this exploration, you will enjoy free time for lunch at a local restaurant, where you can savor the regional cuisine. Once you have recharged, we will gather again to head to our next destination.

We will then delve into the fascinating history of the impressive Roman city of Volubilis, recognized as a UNESCO World Heritage Site since 1997. Founded by the Carthaginians in the 3^rd century BC, it was largely destroyed by an earthquake in 1755. Here, you will explore the ancient ruins and admire the remarkable mosaics that have been preserved exquisitely. This site promises to leave you in awe!

At the end of the private tour, we will return to Casablanca and drop you off at the same meeting point where we began our journey.
