Both Meknes and Volubilis are inscribed on the Unesco World Heritage List. Once the capital of the Moroccan state of Berber, the city, which dates back to the 8th century, boasts a magnificent medina. The picturesque Volubilis located nearby was in ancient times the capital of the province of Mauritania Tingitana. Even today, the ruins look impressive, testifying to the city's former glory.
