Duration: 5 hours
Stop At: Volubilis, Morocco
These ancient ruins of the city of Volubilis is what remains of an outpost on the southwestern frontier of the Roman Empire. Established 2300 years ago, what is visible of the city is a wonder of engineering, architecture, and technology which provides a portal through which we can view and imagine lifestyles. Standing along the ridge of this gently sloping city looking out across the rolling hills of Morocco we experience not just the juxtaposition of time but the curious surrealistic interpretation of space. For all intents and purposes the visitor finds themselves walking through a European city here in northern Africa. We find ourselves experiencing a suggestion of what life may have been like thousands of years ago, retracing steps of ancestors as they must’ve strolled across the streets and passageways and lived out their lives in what we can see as humble dwelling spaces or for the fortunate few, opulent mansions paved with intricate mosaic tiles.
