What a great day! First stop was Marocan Switzerland. Weirdly European place, good to stretch the legs and drink coffee. Not that special but it gets you from the city... read more vibes to the countryside. After we went to see monkeys and had a fantastic horseback ride in the Middle-Atlas. What a magnificent place! Our driver Yassine was friendly and fun to be with. All in all a fantastic day and dito experience!

  This was a great day trip to Volubilis Moulay Idriss & Meknes! Joel was a phenomenal driver with some great tunes.

  Chefchaouen and Volubilis/Meknes - We went on a group tour to Chefchaouen. Everything went smooth. Yassine gave us plenty of info on the road. We made a quick stop at a panorama with a... read more view over a lake, a bathroom and coffee break, and finally a quick stop with a panorama over Chechaouen before entering the city. When returning, my girlfriend had left her glasses in the minibus. Fortunately, Yassine was kind enough to deliver them himself to our riad the following day.

We also went on a private Volubilis and Meknes trip. Othman was a good driver, who spoke English very well and occasionally gave info and took us to the necessary places to visit. Volubilis is very much worth the visit, it's a beautiful place in its own right and thus is combined with beautiful views. We were subsequently taken to Moulay Idriss. As we could not enter the mausoleum, we decided to only stay a few minutes in the town before going to Meknes. Meknes however is under major renovations and the main places to see are covered or hidden behind construction sites. One small remark is that we were told we'd be back in Fez at 16h, which would've only be possible if we hadn't had lunch. 18h is a more reliable estimate to get back.
