Itinerary

  • Volubilis

    Your first stop will be the ruined Roman city of Volubilis. French archaeologists began excavating Volubilis in the early 20th century, though half of the immense sight still remains beneath centuries of topsoil. Marvel at the famous sights, like the basilica, the triumphal arc, and the many palaces with their exquisite mosaics. The tour of Volubilis can be done either with or without a local guide. Next you will make a quick stop in the adjacent small town of Moulay Idriss Zerhoun. Perched atop a hill overlooking Volubilis, Moulay Idriss Zerhoun houses the mausoleum of Moulay Idriss I (745-791), the first Arab king of Morocco. During your stop in Moulay Idriss Zerhoun you will go to a panoramic view point, visit the town center, and get lunch, a snack, or a beverage. Youur last stop will be the mighty walled Imperial City of Meknes. Smaller in comparison to the other Moroccan Imperial Cities, Meknes held the status of capital of Morocco for only 55 years during the reign of the infamous king Moulay Ismail (1634-1727). Still, Meknes’s old city offers a trove of sights for a curious visitor: Moulay Idriss’s massive stables, capacious granary, and cavernous underground prison. You will also visit Moulay Idriss’s mausoleum (one of the only mosques in Morocco open to tourists), the monumental Mansour Gate, the covered food market, and the El Hidem Square. Once finished with this busy day of sightseeing, you will take the highway back to Fez. You will drop you off at your hotel in the late afternoon/evening.

  • Omega Tour

    After a morning pick up at your hotel in Fez, we will hit the road heading west. You decide which route we take: the highway, or take the scenic route with opportunities for taking pictures of the Oulad Shaker reservoir and the surrounding rolling countryside dotted with wheat fields, olive groves, fruit trees, and vineyards. Our first stop will be the ruined Roman city of Volubilis. French archeologists began excavating Volubilis in the early 20th century, though half of the immense sight still remains beneath centuries of topsoil.

Fantastic trip

Published on Oct, 2024

The guide was very friendly and punctual. We felt safe and very welcomed. We spend enough time without rushing things through.

Day trips with Omega

Published on Aug, 2024

We did 2 trips with Omega. One to Volubilis and the other one way to Chefchaouen. On both these trips our driver was Mohammed Cherfaoui . Mohammed was an excellent driver. He is a gentleman and has great knowledge of the area and its history. I would highly recommend Mohammed.

Great day out!

Published on May, 2024

Our driver Mohammed had great English and provided a lot of information along the way. He was very friendly and happily answered all our questions. There was no pressure to attend anything and he took us to a good restaurant which had delicious food - we had the option to go to another restaurant if we preferred. He was very flexible and waited almost three hours while we explored Volubilis. I would highly recommend Omega Tours.

Personable and Excellent Safe Driving

Published on Apr, 2024

We did an all day trip with Mohammed and had a great time. We did a quick coffee stop in a village (with a bunch of stork nests) for a bit of a more local experience. The drive was beautiful rolling farm land with mountain views. The Roman mosaics at Volulbils were awesome. As others have said, it's hot out there.

Very flexible with friendly, informative and professional driver

Published on Dec, 2023

I’m not going to say anything about Volubilis as a site since we had researched it beforehand and knew we wanted to visit it. Yes, it was as fascinating as we expected. But I’m so glad we chose this particular excursion. The thing about Omegatour private day trip to Volubilis and Meknes is that they offer total flexibility and are focused on the satisfaction of the client. For example, the stop at Volubilis was the most important to us. The driver told us to take as much time as we needed and just text him when we were ready to continue. We spent about 3 hours there. We also wanted to do an extra thing at the end of the tour and our driver immediately communicated with his manager Mostafa, and they were able to make it work for a reasonable extra. I am sure the shared tour is great too but you might be placed in a group with interests different than yours. This trip is also not one of those that will stop at shops known to the driver. In fact our driver said “you can’t mix culture with shopping”. Of course, you will have plenty of shopping opportunities at the Meknes Medina if that’s what you want. But you will be free to wonder and shop wherever you want and eat wherever you prefer. You can, of course, get recommendations but will not be taken to specific stops for that purpose. Our driver was Hicham. He modestly says that he speaks “a little English”. Don’t believe him. His English is great. He was very informative, very passionate about sharing his culture and very welcoming. After a while, without realizing it, I was feeling as if I was with family. Well, in fact by the end of the night, and thanks to Hicham, I was the brother of a dromedary…but that’s a story for another time.
