Archaeological Site of Volubilis Reviews
 Volubilis, ruins of a Roman town in Morocco Mar 12, 2009Volubilis, the ruins of a Roman town, is located north of Meknes and west of Fez and has been designated a World Heritage site by UNESCO. We made a stop here on our way from Meknes to Fez, taking an hour or so to walk through the ruins with a tour guide hired by our our tour leader. Though you can walk through the ruins on your own it is worth going with a guide. Our guide showed us how the town was operated, the architecture, agriculture, olive oil production, politics etc. This historical site gives visitors a look into life in a Roman town. Besides getting to see the layout of the town and the buildings within, there are also quite a few beautiful mosaics to be seen in various locations around the town. It is worth a drive out to the site if you are visiting Meknes or Fez.
