our driver will pick up you from your hotel

  • Meknes Medina, Meknes, Morocco
    The day begins after breakfast when we collect you from your hotel or riad in Fes at 10 am, (though Morocco trip desert are flexible enough to meet you at another time if more convenient, just tell us what best suits you!) It's not a long trip to drive first to holy Moulay Idriss, a pretty place balanced precariously on the edge of Mount Zerhon with dramatic views across the beautiful Moroccan countryside including Volubilis. This is a place of pilgrimage for Muslims, as it is believed that those who cannot afford to go on the Hajj in Mecca can visit Moulay Idriss five times during their lifetime to achieve equal status. The village itself is beautiful with lots of charming souks to visit, though only Muslims are permitted to enter the tomb of Idris I of the Idrisid dynasty. he ruled from only 788 to 791 AD but his dynasty is credited with converting Morocco to Islam and he was the great-great-great grandson of Islam's Prophet Mohammed. Next is a short drive to the Roman ruins of Volubilis, called Ouallili meaning laurel flower in the Berber language, and here one is free to explore the well-preserved remains of the town, the Triumphal arch, baths, palaces and especially many beautiful mozaics of classical themes from Roman mythology. As one of the most important Roman sites in North Africa, Volubilis has UNESCO World Heritage Status. It is Volubilis that makes Meknes such a popular destination for tourists and is one of Morocco's 'must see' attractions. Then it's on to the Imperial city of Meknes founded as a military camp in the 11th century but now known as "the Versaille of Morocco", due to it's lavish design, created to mimic the royal palaces of Paris and Arabia during the 17th century by the Sultan Moulay Ismail who made it his capital. In it's heyday, Meknes was surrounded by 45 km of wall, in three defensive circles, had twenty city gates and protected over fifty palaces. Here you will see impressive crenulated battlements, gigantic city gates carved with Islamic art and containing Roman marble pillars looted from Volubilis, the Mausoleum of Moulay Ismail himself and the royal palace of Dal El Makhzen with it's Royal Stables, the beautiful Agdal reservoir and the nearby granaries and subterranean prison. Meknes has an old-fashioned charm and quaintness, a more relaxed atmosphere than Fes and is surrounded by stunning countryside, olive groves and vineyards. The local souks are recommended for a shopping expedition as they are rich and varied and often much cheaper than Fes.

Tras un par de vueltas a la medina, me comunican que los otros tres viajeros habían cancelado por covid y que, si deseo realizar el tour, he de pagar la diferencia respecto al tour privado, unos 32 euros. No hablan español y con dificultad inglés, por lo que resulta complicado explicarles que el planteamiento no tiene sentido, porque me confirmaron el día antes y los demás viajeros, de haber cancelado esa misma mañana, no tendrían derecho a la devolución del dinero, con lo que no hay pérdida. Con tal de no perder la oportunidad de hacer la ruta, negocio otro precio. El responsable contacta con un guía local, ajeno a la empresa, y cierra un precio diferente, con lo que a mitad de trayecto el guía me reclama lo acordado con la empresa. Negociación mediante, finalmente pude difrutar de la ruta, con un guía muy agradable.

The trip did not take place. The operator cancelled the trip after they tried to charge an extra 35 USD . I got a WhatsApp message late the night before the trip saying it was off. I am still waiting for the refund
