Highlights
More information
Venture beyond Fes for a full-day journey through two of Morocco's most important historic sites. With a private historian as your guide, you'll explore the ruins of an ancient Roman city and the sacred hilltop town where Morocco was born.
Begin at Volubilis, a remarkably preserved Roman city. Walk ancient streets where senators once strolled and admire the striking mosaics of the House of Orpheus, still vibrant after two millennia.
The heart of the day is Moulay Idriss, Morocco's holiest town, built even before Fes. Your guide walks you through its lanes and vistas to the mausoleum of Idris I, founder of Morocco's first dynasty.
The experience culminates in a multi-course lunch at a restaurant overlooking the mausoleum, with sweeping views of the surrounding hills and olive groves.
