Overview

Commencing your day at 9:00 AM with a hotel pickup, you'll set out on a 1.5-hour journey to the ancient city of Volubilis. Nestled in the heart of a fertile plain, Volubilis stands as the epitome of Roman ruins in Morocco, meticulously preserved and recognised as a UNESCO World Heritage site since 1997. What truly captivates here are the exquisitely maintained mosaics, a testament to the city's historical grandeur.

After this enthralling visit, a short 40-minute drive will lead you to Meknes, offering a welcome interlude for lunch. Post-meal, immerse yourself in the bustling markets and labyrinthine alleyways of the age-old Medina. A highlight of your Meknes sojourn is a visit to the venerable Dar Jamaï Museum, an architectural gem built in 1882 by the influential Jamaï family. This historic palace has been a museum since 1920, showcasing an array of traditional ceramics, intricate jewellery, fine textiles, and masterful cedarwood crafts.

Volubilis, an ancient Berber-Roman metropolis nestled in Morocco's proximity, near the urban centre of Meknes, conceivably acted as the epicentre of the Mauretanian Kingdom, a role it might have assumed during the reign of King Juba II. Prior to the ascendancy of Volubilis, the kingdom's seat of power possibly resided in Gilda.

Embarking on this journey, commence with an exploration of formidable fortifications graced with monumental entrances that trace their origins back to the seventeenth-century, namely the venerable Berdaïne Bab and Bab Khemis. The odyssey unfolds with an in-depth scrutiny of the urban landscape, traversing the equine abode (Rua), lofty lofts (HERI), and the esteemed Stud. Pause and ponder at the hallowed resting place of Moulay Ismail, an exquisite sanctum which, for an extended period, extended its welcome to non-Muslim visitors in the realm of Morocco. Finally, take your leave through the iconic Bab Mansour El, which grants passage onto the expansive expanse of Hedim Square. On the opposite end of this grand square, the Museum of Moroccan Art, known as "Dar Jamai," awaits to enthral you with its diverse collection of artisanal creations.
