For Aïd: First stop: Moulay Idriss and Volubilis with Hanna and Kai

Last weekend was a long weekend, since Monday and Tuesday we had the day off because of Aid el-Kebir: la 'Grande Fête' or the sheep holiday. We had Hannah, our German friend from Zimbabwe coming with her boyfriend, Kai, for the long weekend. So nice to see each other again after over a year, and catch up on the many changes. They spend one day visiting Rabat and Saturday morning we went on a road trip through the north of Morocco.

First stop was Moulay Idriss, a beautiful pilgrimage city nestled in the rocks, and the nearby Volubilis, roman ruins. It's close to Meknes, and really pretty, with a rich history, both spiritually and culturally.
