Meknes & Volubilis Questions
Is Volubilis worth the entrance fee?
Yes — it's one of Morocco's best-preserved Roman sites, with mosaics still visible in situ. The stop is roughly 45 minutes to an hour.
Can non-Muslims enter Moulay Idriss?
Yes, the town itself is open to all visitors — only the shrine's inner sanctuary is restricted to Muslims. The hillside views are the highlight for most travelers.
Is this a good first day trip from Fes?
Yes — it's our shortest full-day route, making it an easy, low-cost introduction to day trips before a longer one like Chefchaouen.
