We begin our day in Meknes, the imperial city of Sultan Moulay Ismail in the 17th century. Start by walking through the grand Bab Mansour gate, a masterpiece of Islamic architecture with intricate zellij tiles and marble columns. Built between 1703 and 1732, it embodies the sultan’s vision and the skill of Moroccan artisans.
Next, we visit the Mausoleum of Moulay Ismail, the sultan’s final resting place. As you wander through its serene courtyards and admire the ornate stucco work, you’ll sense the enduring legacy of a ruler who transformed Meknes into a thriving capital. The mausoleum remains a place of pilgrimage, connecting visitors with centuries of history.
We conclude the morning at El Hedim Square, once a military parade ground and now the lively heart of the city. Stroll among the bustling crowds, enjoy the views of Bab Mansour, and feel the vibrant energy of Meknes as it blends history with daily life.
We then journey to Volubilis, Morocco’s UNESCO World Heritage site and the best-preserved Roman ruins in the country. Walk the ancient streets where Romans lived over 2,000 years ago. See the intricate mosaics depicting mythological scenes, grand basilicas, and triumphal arches celebrating victories. The site’s location at the foot of Jebel Zerhoun provides stunning views of the surrounding plains.
Explore the Capitoline Temple, dedicated to Jupiter, Juno, and Minerva, and step inside the House of Orpheus to admire its beautifully preserved mosaics. Learn about the daily, religious, and civic life of the Romans who once thrived here. Every step offers a tangible connection to Morocco’s ancient past.
After a full day immersed in imperial and Roman history, we enjoy a comfortable drive back to Fez. Look out the window at the changing landscapes and reflect on the incredible sights: the grandeur of Meknes, the timeless ruins of Volubilis, and the stories they tell. Return with vivid memories of Morocco’s rich heritage and a deeper connection to its past.
