About the Tangier to Fes via Volubilis

The train from Tangier to Fes is quick, but you see nothing on the way. In a private car the trip takes a little longer and turns into a full day of sightseeing.

You leave Tangier in the morning on the motorway south and reach Volubilis around midday: the best-kept Roman city in Morocco, with its mosaics still in place. After a look at the white hill town of Moulay Idriss, you drive to Meknes to see the great gate of Bab Mansour and El Hedim square, and arrive at your riad in Fes in the early evening.

Your luggage stays locked in the car all day.

  • Moulay Idriss Zerhoun viewpoint
