Journey from Fes to the ancient Roman city of Volubilis, Morocco’s most significant archaeological treasure and a UNESCO World Heritage site. This day trip offers a fascinating glimpse into the Roman Empire’s reach into North Africa, showcasing remarkably preserved mosaics, grand arches, and the sprawling ruins of a once-thriving city set against a beautiful rural landscape.
Practical Tips:
Departure from Fes: Your historical day begins with a pick-up from your accommodation in Fes.
Scenic Drive: Enjoy a comfortable drive through the rolling hills and olive groves of the Moroccan countryside.
Arrival at the Archaeological Site: Arrive at Volubilis and prepare to step back in time.
Day: Exploring the Ancient Roman City
Spend your visit exploring the extensive ruins at your own pace. The site is expansive, and the key highlights are concentrated in the northern section.
The Remarkable Mosaics: Discover the world-famous, brilliantly preserved mosaics in situ, adorning the floors of ancient villas like the House of Orpheus and the House of the Athlete.
Monumental Architecture: Walk along the Decumanus Maximus (the main street) and see the grand Triumphal Arch, the Capitol, and the Basilica.
Panoramic Views: From the elevated points of the city, enjoy stunning views over the fertile plains and the nearby sacred town of Moulay Idriss.
On-Site Museum: Visit the small on-site museum to see a collection of artifacts recovered from the excavations, providing further context to the ruins.
Timing: For the best experience with softer light and fewer crowds, aim for an early morning or late afternoon visit.
What to Bring: Wear comfortable walking shoes, and bring a hat, sunscreen, and water, as the site is largely exposed to the sun.
Guides: Consider hiring a local guide at the entrance for a more in-depth understanding of the city’s history.
Late Afternoon: Return to Fes
Departure: After your exploration, reconvene with your driver for the return journey to Fes.
Drop-off: You will be dropped off at your accommodation, concluding your journey into Morocco’s ancient past.
