Overview

Your experience begins with a convenient morning pickup from your hotel or riad in Fes. You’ll travel comfortably toward Meknes, one of Morocco’s four imperial cities, known for its majestic gates, historic monuments, and royal legacy.

Upon arrival, your private guide will lead you on a walking tour through the highlights of Meknes. Start at the iconic Bab Mansour, an impressive gate decorated with zellige tiles, marble columns, and masterful carvings — considered one of the most beautiful gates in Morocco. Continue to Madrasa Bou Inania, a striking example of Marinid architecture showcasing wooden carvings, stucco artistry, and peaceful courtyards. You’ll explore the vibrant medina and visit Place El Hedim, a lively square filled with local vendors, traditional goods, and everyday Moroccan life.

After discovering Meknes, the journey continues toward Volubilis, one of the most important Roman archaeological sites in North Africa and a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Your guide will introduce you to the well-preserved ruins, including grand arches, bathhouses, basilicas, and some of the finest mosaics found in Morocco. Set against the scenic backdrop of olive groves and distant mountains, Volubilis offers stunning photo opportunities and a fascinating look into Morocco’s ancient past.

Enjoy a traditional Moroccan lunch at a local restaurant before heading back toward Fes. Along the way, we’ll stop in a small village where you can observe Moroccan rural life and soak in the peaceful atmosphere.

You’ll return to Fes in the late afternoon or early evening, completing a day filled with culture, history, and unforgettable discoveries.
