Day 1: Rabat – Volubilis – Fez – 200 Km After breakfast at the hotel, we travel to Fez inland through lovely countryside dotted with vineyards and olive groves of the town of Moulay Idriss, named for its founder, Morocco’s most venerated saint. He was one of the great grandsons of the prophet Mohamed and his tomb and shrine lie in the heart of this pilgrimage town. Continue to nearby Volubilis, capital of the Roman Empire’s province of Mauritania.
The ruins date back mainly to the 2nd and 3rd centuries AD, but excavations indicate that the site may go back another 5OO years or so, to the Carthaginian traders who settled here.
