Said Abbou leads his guests through his charming little museum in the middle of the desert, right near the road. His life's work is the astonishingly extensive collection on Moroccan culture and the preservation of the Artesian sources and pools within the museum. His private engagement deserves support. His calligraphies are also very beautiful.I recommend a visit.

What Mr. Zaid Abbou has achieved with this museum is absolutely fantastic and highly recommended for a stay. With his intelligent and vivid tour through the grounds, he gave us a wonderful insight into traditional life and presented his treasures. The magnificent springs are particularly worth seeing.

If you're the least bit interested in the remains of the Roman Empire, and want to avoid the hordes of tourists that go to places like Pompeii, Volubilis is an excellent alternative. It's a deserted Roman city, its heyday from 4 CE to 280 CE, now in the middle of lush fields, just 3-4 km from Moulay Idriss, about 30 km north of Meknès. You can do tours, though these are rather expensive - better and more flexible to either pay for a driver in Meknès to take you to Moulay Idriss and Volubilis for a day tour (we did this through our riad, cost 500 Dh [50 euros]), or take a shared grand taxi to Moulay Idriss, and get a taxi out to the ruins (at least one way, though you can negotiate a pick-up time). It is walkable, and you can easily see the ruins from Moulay Idriss, so not hard to get to. Entry is 70 Dh, 30 Dh for children 7-13 years old. We'd recommend going in cooler months if possible, as it was very warm even in early January - would be unbearable in summer. Take hats, sunglasses and plenty of water. We'd also recommend taking 3 hours to view the site at leisure - it's a large area (about 40 hectares) and there is a lot to see, so take your time. It's marvellous to see ruins from such a long time ago - sure, some of the pillars and arches have been restored, but to imagine you can see mosaics that were trodden on by inhabitants 2000 years ago is awe-inspiring. Archaeology is ongoing at the site, and enough of the city remains to easily feed your imagination about what an ancient Roman town looked like (though most inhabitants were local, very few actually came from Italy). If you are travelling in Morocco to Fes or Meknès, we highly recommend taking a side day-trip to Volubilis. Especially if, like us, you have at least some interest in Western Classical studies, you'll love it.
