After your exploration of Meknes, continue your journey to Volubilis, one of the oldest cities in Morocco and a former Roman capital. The Roman city was once home to over 20,000 inhabitants, primarily engaged in wheat cultivation as mandated by Rome. You'll learn about the city's rich history, which includes periods of Berber, Greek, Syrian, and Jewish rule. Idrís I, a significant figure in Morocco's history, used Volubilis as his refuge in the 8th century and declared it the birthplace of Islam in the region. Your tour will conclude in the late afternoon as you return to Fes with drop-off at your hotel.
