After breakfast in the riad, we depart for Volubilis via a number of Rif villages, stop at Volubilis to explore the Roman ruins and learn about Moroccan history in the first century BC, and then continue on to Meknes, a city with a rich heritage from the 17th century, where we will have lunch. The afternoon is the ideal time to see Medina’s historic landmarks, such as Bab el Mansour and the Moulay Ismail Mausoleum. We travel to Fes city later on to stay the night.

When you arrive, you will be greeted with tea and a friendly greeting. Before supper, you can unwind and settle in your lovely, private tents, each of which has an ensuite bathroom and a shower. After a great supper, a fire will be lighted, and a joyful atmosphere will take over as staff members and cameleers perform musical performances under the desert night sky.
