Road trip to meknes and moulay idriss zerhoun

Meknes, located in Morocco, is a city filled with rich history and heritage that dates back to the 11th century. The city is known for its stunning architecture, including the grand Bab Mansour gate, which is a true masterpiece of Moroccan design. The old city, or medina, is a labyrinth of narrow alleyways, bustling souks, and ancient buildings that transport visitors back in time. The city is also home to several impressive palaces, such as the Heri es-Souani granaries and the Dar Jamai Museum, which offer a glimpse into the opulent lifestyle of Morocco's rulers. Just a short drive away from Meknes is Moulay Idriss Zerhoun, a picturesque town perched on a hilltop overlooking the surrounding countryside. This town is named after Moulay Idriss I, the founder of the Idrisid dynasty and a revered figure in Moroccan history. The town is known for its peaceful atmosphere, charming streets, and white-washed buildings that create a stunning backdrop against the blue sky. Both Meknes and Moulay Idriss Zerhoun are ideally located for exploring the nearby Roman ruins of Volubilis and the holy city of Fes. The combination of ancient heritage, vibrant culture, and stunning landscapes make these two cities a must-visit destination for travelers looking to immerse themselves in the beauty of Morocco. 💞Reasons to Recommend: if your interest to see the authentic side of Morocco.
