While staying in Fes, I took an overnight side tri While staying in Fes, I took an overnight side trip to the Zerhoun mountains to the holy city of Moulay Idris and the Roman ruins of Volubilis. It was generally rainy and overcast. Not great for the walk to the ruins 4km outside of town but there were no crowds and the mosaics were washed down.
