Salaam alaikoum! When we think of Morocco, it is the buzzing and colourful souks, filled with the scent of exotic spices that spring to mind. We conjure up images of magnificent palaces, lush gardens and white, sandy beaches that stretch far into the horizon. But there is more to Morocco; a depth that goes beyond its beauty and colour. There is its soul, a heart that beats not only in the bazaars but also across its lands, all there for you to discover as you immerse yourself in the daily lives of its people. By meeting these people and by enjoying their hospitality during your stay, you will see Morocco and its inhabitants unveil the hidden treasures that lie at the core of their culture. From its four royal cities to the misty ramparts of Essaouira, from hiking and trekking across the countryside (be it in the foothills of the Atlas Mountains or on a camel’s back in the Sahara), wonders await you, no matter what your choice of holiday may be.

During my <a href="/morocco/">trip to Morocco</a>, for my two hour visit, I had the feeling of being an amateur archaeologist, inching my way into the magic of a timeless place. The route is signposted with arrows, clockwise, over about thirty ruins. For mosaic lovers, I recommend beginning the visit at the House of Orpheus: it contains 3 magnificent mosaics, including Orpheus charming animals with his lyre. I loved the triumphal arch, erected in 217 in honour of the Emperor Caracalla. Small list of relics to see in Volubilis: the olive presses, a main resource of the ancient city; the thermal baths of Gallien, to see the ground heating system of Roman baths; the Capitol dedicated to the triad of Jupiter, Pluto and Minerva; the basilica and the forum.

Even the name of this city sounds like it comes straight out of a fairytale: 'Volubilis'. And we were indeed thrilled with this city, steeped in history. Located at the foot of Djebel Zerhoun (a mountain over 1,000 m high), you'll find the remnants of several ancient civilisations, particularly the Roman civilisation. You'll be able to distinguish the site's different stages of occupation, from the prehistoric era to the Islamic period. Excavations on the site began in the 20th Century, and today, it's possible to view the remains of the Roman city, such as its thermal baths, basilica and Capitol. The mosaics along the length of the former main street are very well preserved and very impressive. Volubilis offers spectacular views and a surprising sense of calm. Its inhabitants are very welcoming; once you meet them, you'll definitely want to extend your stay! It's also an ideal destination for a family holiday.

Volubilis is a pretty Berber city recognised as a UNESCO world heritage site and located in Northern Morocco, near Meknès.
