. These terraces provide vantage points high above the mausoleum and most of the
town.
Sleeping & Eating
Rooms are at a premium during the
moussem,
so book in advance. The cheap food stands
around the main square are all good for a quick snack. The grilled chicken with salad is
something of a local speciality.

'Diyafa' means hospitality, and you'll certainly find it at this friendly house. There's
plenty of traditional decor and fabrics, as well as family photos: look out for the one of
King Mohammed VI inaugurating the house. Rooms are generous and good value. A din-
ner menu is available from Dh75.

Hotel Diyar Timnay
( 0535 54 44 00; amzday@menara.ma; 7 Aïn Rjal; s/d/tr incl breakfast Dh160/240/300; )
Near the
grands-taxis stands, this is the town's only hotel. It's unexpectedly large when you get in-
side, with good but unflashy rooms. Most are en suite, although a few have separate (but
still private) bathrooms. The restaurant (mains Dh50 to Dh60) does a roaring lunchtime
trade with tour groups visiting Volubilis, and has great views to the archaeological site.

A traditional home turned guesthouse - the family occupies the ground floor while
guests are up above. It also bills itself as a restaurant, with home-cooked meals available
on request (menu Dh85). In good weather eat on the terrace, with views to Volubilis. At
the mausoleum, turn right uphill and follow the signs.
