Fez
A mixture of culture, architecture and religion.
Tour through Fez with an English-speaking guide that will meet you with an exciting introduction to the Moroccan history and culture by driving you to the imperial city of Meknes, the holy town of Moulay Idriss and the Roman site of Volubilis.
Meknes is a medieval city rebuilt by the king Moulay Ismail in the 17th century as the capital of his kingdom. Enjoy the culture and cuisine with a lunch in an old Riad of Meknes before you head to the mountain of Zerhous to visit Moulay Idriss. Tour the medieval village and then head to Volubilis to explore the Roman part of the Moroccan history. Built 2000 years ago, Volubilis was the capital of Morocco at the time when it was a roman province. When traveling back to Fez enjoy scenic views of the countryside while passing through Zgouta.
