Meknes & Volubilis
Sultan Moulay Ismail's imperial city and Morocco's finest Roman ruins.
Meknes, one of Morocco's four imperial cities, was built by the powerful Sultan Moulay Ismail and is known for its massive gates, royal stables and granaries. Just beyond lies Volubilis, the best-preserved Roman site in North Africa, with remarkable mosaics and columns set against the rolling countryside. A Meknes and Volubilis tour from Fès is a journey through 2,000 years of Moroccan and Roman history.
Practical advice for your visit
Allow a full day when combining Meknes and Volubilis from Fes. The archaeological site has exposed paths with limited shade, so bring water, sun protection and comfortable shoes. Monument access can change during conservation work.
