Although much of much of Morocco is arid, Volubilis is located in a verdant landscape. I am sure that the city was put here because they could grow crops to sustain themselves. There are many mosaics made of black and white stones still in situ in the ruins. A rarity in this day when everything is moved to a museum. The remains of streets and houses is most interesting. There is also a magnificent marble memorial arch on the main street. It looks like the one shown in the movie 'Patton'.
