 Moulay Idriss by barryg23
The main site in the town is the shrine and zaouia of Moulay Idriss, great-grandson of the Prophet Muhammad and the founder of the town. This remains closed to non-Muslims though you can approach the entrance to the shrine and take pictures. Also worth seeing are the views from the terraces on the highest points on either side of the town. Locals will offer to show you the way and probably follow you for a short distance but the path is easy to find. From the top you get an excellent view of the shrine and of the rest of the town.
Moulay Idriss is about 25 km north of Meknes and there is regular public transport between the two. A popular day-trip from Meknes combines a visit to Moulay Idriss with nearby Volubils, 4 km further north. Leave a Comment

 Volubilis by barryg23
Volubilis was one of the most remote outposts of the Roman Empire and the ruins here are amongst the best preserved and definitely the best known in Morocco. It costs 10 Dh per person to visit the ruins though hiring a guide costs extra. The ruins are spread out over a large area so you’ll need about 2 hours to see everything. There are a couple of cafes and a hotel near the ruins though it’s a better idea to bring a picnic or have lunch in Moulay Idriss. Leave a Comment
