There is room for 20.000 worshippers inside the mosque at the same time, and the courtyard gives space for another 80.000.

DAY 4 : RABAT - MEKNES – FES In the morning, departure to Meknes, royal but divided. Sightseeing of Meknes who has been called the Versailles of Morocco, but the grand scheme for a royal palace was never completed. Today the city is the centre of a productive area, producing olives, wine, cereal crops and citrus. The old city is not among the finest in Morocco, but the royal palace is filling a considerable part of it. The palace was erected during the rule of Sultan Moulay Ismail, who reigned for 55 years around 1700. He was a true tyrant, and one believes that he had around 30.000 people killed during this period, but the figures are far higher if you include the ones killed in his battles he conducted. Despite Ismail's great interest in building, he never succeeded in making Meknes the great imperial city he planned it to be. Meknes has for always been stamped by its feeling of emptiness. Not even the newer French city, situated on the other side of the gorge that divides the city in two halves, managed to change this. Visit of the town, Bab Mansour, the Berrima quarters and the Moulay Ismail mausoleum. Lunch and departure to Volubilis, visit the roman ruins. The city was a Roman settlement constructed on what was probably a Carthaginian city, dating from 3rd century BC. Volubilis was a central administrative city for this part of Roman Africa, responsible for the grain producing in this fertile region, and exports to Rome. Volubilis was also administering contacts with the Berber tribes which the Romans never managed to suppress, but who only came as far as to cooperate with the Romans for mutual benefits. Unlike so many other Roman cities, Volubilis was not abandoned after the Romans lost their foothold in this part of Africa in the 3rd century. Even the Latin language survived for centuries, and as not replaced before the Arabs conquered North Africa in the late 7th century. The main area of Volubilis, and the only area that really attracts visitors, Moroccans and foreigners, is no more than 800 x 600 meters. Visit of the Triumphal Arch, Forum, Basilica, Gardens and Houses (of the Euphebus, of Orpheus and of Dionysus near the Decumanus Maximus). Continuation to Fes. Dinner and overnight.
