around meknes
Roman ruins of Volubilis Oualili in Arabic and Berber: This UNESCO World Heritage Site is a short trip from Meknes. It is possible to go cheaply by grand taxi via the town of Moulay Idriss, also worth a visit, a visit should be around 300-350dh with the driver waiting while you peruse the site. There is hardly any shade so bring a hat and water since it can get very hot. A large archeological museum is being constructed on the site opens in 2011 to house the finds which are currently on display in Rabat.
Moulay Idriss Zerhoun
14km from Meknes and just next to Volubilis, the small city on a hill was founded by Moulay Idriss II and is an Islamic holy site. A moussem is held here each year.
