Day 3: Fes

Volubilis/Fes. Today, take a guided tour of the archaeological site of Volubilis.The story of Volubilis perfectly represents the many cultural influences of Morocco. The city bears the marks of several civilizations.

Volubilis was founded in the 3rd century BC. It was then the capital of Mauretania. Mauretania was then the territory of the Berbers. Volubilis was therefore at the base a Berber city.

The city grew rapidly when it was controlled by the Romans. At its peak, Volubilis has between 10,000 and 20,000 inhabitants according to historians. The city lived mainly from the olive oil trade. The plains near Volubilis are still covered with olive trees! Upon arrival, take a tour around the ruins with a local guide. Please remember to pack drinking water, hat, sunglasses and sun cream for this tour as it may get hot and you will be exposed to the sun. And, of course, don’t forget to take your camera as the town is filled with fantastic mosaics along the Decumanus Maximus, many of which remain intact. After time spent imagining Volubulis as the bustling city it once was, return to the nearby imperial city of Meknes, where you’ll have a few hours to explore. In the 17th century Sultan Moulay Ismail turned Meknes from a provincial town to a spectacular Imperial city, building his own version of Versailles with labour force of over 25,000 slaves. The adventurous may want to try a camel burger for lunch at a local restaurant in the medina. In the afternoon, take a one-hour to Fes, where you’ll spend the next two nights. Fes is the spiritual and cultural heart of Morocco; vibrant, noisy, fascinating and overwhelming – a visual and pungent feast for the senses – with a huge, well-preserved medieval old city that’s the mother of all medinas.

Much of Chefchaouen was recreated by Andalusian refugees escaping the Reconquistia, so you might feel like you’re in the hills of Spain while exploring its streets.

Mohammed VI of Morocco and his forward-thinking ideas about commerce and tourism has suddenly woke up the community to the potential of this city.
