20/24.- Meknes, meat stall

In the picture you can see a meat stall in the covered market of Meknes. I wonder if the meat they sell comes from the animal whose head is hanging on the right. Yes, this is a camel head.

To the North of the city of Meknes lie a couple of towns you should not miss. One is the holy city of Moulay Idriss, birthplace of Moulay Idriss. The other town of interest is Volubilis, with its Roman ruins. Although the site is open from sunrise to sun set, the best time to get there is early in the morning or late in the evening. It can be real hot at noon.

In Volubilis, you can visit the Triumphal
Arch, the Capitol, the Forum, and some mansions with mosaic floors.

Although you can get to both cities by local bus, I recommend hiring a taxi.
