    One of the most in-tact ruined city I’ve seen

    Volubilis is surely one of the most in-tact Roman ruins I’ve seen so far. You can clearly see where the homes were, where the basilica was and where the gates were. The mosaics are also still very complete. When you arrive at the site it...More

    Small, but high quality ruins took me back to Roman times

    A tour of Volubilis can be done from either Meknes (25km) or Fes (35km), as it is between the two cities. Only a small part of the 42ha site has been excavated, but the building walls, mosaics and reconstructed arches are high quality. This capital...More

    Awesome ruins

    The ruins at Volubilis are stunning and if you’re into history arrange for a guide. It’s worth the visit but only if you’re into ruins and history. The museum is small and quaint and the ruins are decently in tact and comparable to Delphi or...More

    Southwestern reach of the Roman Empire

    Southern border city and agricultural centre of the Roman Empire in Mauretania, some arches has been partially restored & beautiful mosaic floors have been uncovered. Historical displays and maps in the visitor centre. No shortage of willing guides.

    The mosaics are worth the trip

    This city was the Romans anchor in NW Africa. In addition to farming (olive oil), it was the base from which the lions were captured and sent to the Colosseum. The high light is the mosaic tile floors that remain from the villas of the...More

    Essential to understand Roman occupancy of North Africa

    It's only about 25% excavated and the 1755 Lisbon earthquake damaged it but there is still plenty to marvel at - a town of 20,000 people populated a couple of thousand years ago. It was raining when we visited but our guide kept going and...More

    Not to miss

    We took a taxi to get there. It is very interesting place with many original Roman futures,mosaic and remains of the town structure. Put sufficient time to see it all and be prepared for a good walking of couple of hours.

    The walk from the entrance to the first ruins you come to is not long, five to ten minutes as I recall. But a guided tour takes you deeper into the ancient city’s ruins, pausing at highlights, and eventually looping back to... More
