The journey continues to the stunning Roman ruins of Volubilis, recognized as one of Morocco’s best archaeological sites, nestled in a fertile agricultural region. Finally, you’ll visit Moulay Idriss Zerhoun, an important holy town scenically perched over two hills of Mount Zerhoun, known as the resting place of Morocco’s first major Islamic ruler.
