My last journey was one of my favorites of all Times. I had the opportunity to discover a new taste of the Moroccan culture and explore the many faces of its rich cultural heritage. The region I last visited is positioned on the plain of Saïss, the once-notorious city of Meknes.
First of all, let's check a few facts about this region.
Between the Middle Atlas and the Massive Rif Mountains, there is a very green land that was once called Volubilis. The most fertile area in the kingdom, in centuries. Leaders in agriculture, but also in Arts, education, and strategic planning and politics.
What is now called the city of Meknes, is 30 minutes away from the old Roman city of Volubilis (Built in honor and Ruled by the Berber emperor Juba II, 5000 years ago). It is now inhabited by more than 650.000 people and was made Capital by Sultan Moulay Ismail in the 17th century.
I was told that the best time to visit the region is during spring time. The fields are incredibly beautiful and the seasonal fruits and vegetables are heavenly delicious. So I did, spring had just begun.
I called my friend and had him prepare the perfect sejour for me. Our journey started from Casablanca. Which is on the Atlantic coast 150 miles away from my destination.
