A charming village Mulay Idris - Morocco

Only 5 km from the ruins of Volbilis, and 95 km from the city of Fez, find the enchanted village of Moulay Idrish, sandwiched in the middle of a valley. Highly recommended to visit panormicas 2 terraces (petite and large terrase terrase), the mausoleum of Moulay Idris (which non-Muslims can only see the entrance) and eat some chicken skewers on the main square.

Moulay idriss and volubilis

A little more than 65 km from Fez, the spiritual capital of Morocco, we found Meknes, in the Middle Atlas. You can get there by train from Fez Station, trains run every few minutes and the journey time is about 45 minutes, for about €4. You can approach the mosque or its great mosque, visit some of its mausoleums, the palace, stroll around the closed market or go to its souk (completely local with few tourists). Try a delicious camel burger, you will see a sign with camel face at one of the butchers, incidentally, exquisite, something spicy but very good and above all different. From there you can take a taxi (for not more than €20-25/half day including Moulay Idriss and Volubilis) and go to Volubilis - an ancient Roman city with one of the best preserved archaeological sites in ​​North Africa and a UNESCO Heritage Site, the entrance is €3, it is best visited early as the sun can be hellish. A little over 5 km. We approach Mulay Idris, the holy city, it is said that going 5 times to a tomb of Moulay Idris (founder of Fez and Meknes) equals going on a pilgrimage to the holy city of Mecca, or hajj. If some guy approaches you to tell about the people and history of the city, until recently closed to tourism, it is worth letting him accompany you on this little walk, he will tell curious stories and you will go to the highlands to admire a spectacular and mystical panorama. The price of this "excursion " is what each person sees fit.
