Lonely Planet review for Volubilis

Volubilis is the site of the largest and best-preserved Roman ruins in Morocco. Dating largely from the 2nd and 3rd centuries AD, excavations have revealed that the site was originally settled by Carthaginian traders even earlier. At its peak, it is estimated that the city housed up to 20,000 people. Take a guide, a hat and plenty of water. Magical at dusk.

    Very quiet - a real treat

    humbucker recommends this,

    North Africa has such fantastic Roman ruins. This is another good one and a must see if you're in Meknes or Fes and have a little time. Volubilis is welcome respite from the hubbub of the cities.
