Julian and I decided to leave Fez for a day trip to Vouliabilis and Meknes, about an hour from Fes. The others enjoyed more shopping in the medina of Fes. The weather was overcast and sprinkling. After we got out of the city- traveling west towards Rabat (but a different road) we were in a beautiful fertile valley of olive groves and cedar trees. Meknes is another of the imperial cities, and after a real coffee (Ali explained that most hotels make it with instant powder not a machine) over looking the main plaza, we set off into the medina. Ali could not accompany us as he said that a driver could not be a tour guide. A mosque, palace and golf course later, we opted for lunch with Ali- as the sun had come out and we enjoyed a mixed grill and couscous with poulet.
