How to get out Meknes
Roman ruins of Volubilis (Oualili in Arabic and Berber): This UNESCO World Heritage Site is a short trip from Meknes. It is possible to go cheaply by grand taxi (via the town of Moulay Idriss, also worth a visit), a visit should be around 300-350dh with the driver waiting while you peruse the site. There is hardly any shade so bring a hat and water since it can get very hot. A large archeological museum is being constructed on the site (opens in 2011) to house the finds which are currently on display in Rabat.
Moulay Idriss Zerhoun: 14km from Meknes and just next to Volubilis, the small city on a hill was founded by Moulay Idriss II and is an Islamic holy site. A moussem is held here each year.
