On arrival at Volubilis which is less than half an hour drive outside Meknes tour guides approached us offering their service, we declined however which Matthew soon regretted. For me (someone who isn't really that into history well certainly not history that isn't Irish) this was very inspiring. This was build in the 3rd century BC onwards by the romans.
On our way back to Meknes we stopped in Moulay Idriss. We had done little research on Moulay Idriss beforehand and due to little time there, we didn’t get to see the main attractions and as a result I don’t have any noteworthy pictures to share. A guide approached us but as we were so hungry and tired and unsure how much time we had we kindly declined.
Meknes on the other hand we truly enjoyed. Our sunset stroll
around the imperial city was a welcoming break from the recent visited medinas.
It was beautiful at this time of the night and the people from Meknes were very
friendly. It was a great regret that we didn’t have more time in this city.
We stayed in Riad D'or
we caught a taxi to the riad. We were dropped outside the medina and we had to
take a short walk to the riad which was really well sign posted. The location
of riad is ideal if you want to stay in the medina but also access the imperial
part of the city as it is just a short walk. The riad organised us a half day
taxi to Voulibis and Moulay Idriss for 400dh and we were picked up and dropped
off at the medina. The breakfast the next morning was lovely, which included a
selection of bread and pastries. The
views from the terraces were beautiful. There was so much rooftop space to
lounge around on and if you searched real hard you would find the rooftop pool.
The only downside to this riad was the fact our room didn’t lock and although
nothing was stolen (we didn’t chance leaving valuables) I still felt a bit
uneasy.
