Step back in time on a full-day journey from Casablanca to the Imperial City of Meknes and the ancient Roman ruins of Volubilis. This tour blends Morocco’s rich imperial history with remarkable archaeological sites, offering a glimpse into the past that few travelers get to experience in a single day.

Your day begins with a private pick-up from your hotel or port in Casablanca. Travel through the scenic Middle Atlas Mountains, where rolling hills, cedar forests, and traditional Berber villages set the stage for a day of exploration. Upon arrival in Meknes, meet your certified guide to visit key landmarks, including the Mausoleum of Moulay Ismail and the Royal Stables, a testament to the city’s status as one of Morocco’s imperial capitals. Learn about the history, architecture, and legacy of this UNESCO-listed city while strolling through its historic streets and plazas.

Next, continue to Volubilis, one of Morocco’s most important Roman archaeological sites. Walk among well-preserved ruins, including temples, basilicas, and intricate mosaics that date back to the 3rd century AD. Explore the town of Moulay Idris nearby, a sacred pilgrimage site, and gain insight into its religious and cultural significance. Throughout the day, your guide provides historical context and local stories that bring these ancient sites to life.

After an enriching day of exploration, return to Casablanca in the late afternoon, arriving with memories of imperial cities, Roman history, and scenic Atlas landscapes.
