You step into the light outside Fes and the road opens up—olive-studded plains rolling toward the distant rise of Mount Zerhoun. The air here has a dry warmth that seems to push you forward; villages appear and recede like chapters in a travelogue. On this six- to seven-hour loop you visit Moulay Idriss, the Roman ruins of Volubilis and the grand gates of Meknes, a compact day of history and landscape.
