Today you will head to Fez via Meknes, an important shopping center known for its fine wines and the best olive oil in Morocco. In Meknes, you can discover the main sights for yourself: stop in front of the country’s most beautiful city gate, the Bab Mansour adorned with reliefs and ceramic tiles; be impressed by the city’s thick walls; Visit the stables and granaries, as well as the mausoleum of Sultan Moulay Ismail. Stop at one of the city gates, Bab El Khemis, before continuing to Moulay Idriss Zerhoun, Morocco’s main pilgrimage site. Access to this sacred place was forbidden to non-Muslims until a few years ago. Later, the visit to Volubilis, the ruined Roman city was the administrative place of the Mauritanian region Tingitana and is now a UNESCO World Heritage Site. The village has an impressive number of well-preserved columns and beautiful mosaics, testifying to the ancient wealth of the inhabitants who worked in the olive oil trade.
Then you will cross the rolling countryside to Fez, the spiritual and intellectual center of the country. The city of Fez is a witness of history and culture, knowledge and religion, but also the center of art, crafts and Moroccan gastronomy.

Fez, thanks to art, science and faith, is a spiritual center in the Arabic-speaking world and offers the intact image of a medieval city.
