OVERVIEW OF: MOST POPULAR 1 DAY TRIP FROM FES TO MEKNES AND VOLUBILIS
The most popular Fes day trip to allow you to experience the top attractions close to Morocco’s second-largest city (after Casablanca). One of the best things about Fes, Morocco, is that it is a great place to stay while you explore most Morocco travel destinations.
Meknes and Volubilis are two great historic locations near one another. Although they are considerably different from one another, they are both gorgeous. They are located in the northern part of Morocco, roughly halfway between Fes and Rabat. Both of these locations have been designated by UNESCO as World Heritage Sites due to their Outstanding Universal Value. Before Volubilis developed as a great Roman frontier city, it served as a significant location for one thousand years. It continued to grow until the time of the Islamic empire, when it was abandoned, and into the fourteenth century. Meknes is one of Morocco’s four Imperial Cities and the country’s sixth-largest city in terms of population. It is also one of the oldest cities in the country. During the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries, it served as the capital of Morocco and as the seat of power for the Sultans.
