As I stood among the Roman remains of Volubilis, with its eerie-looking cyprus trees swinging in the pleasant air, I might have been in Italy. My surroundings appeared to promise that at the foot of the hill, there would be gelato and melodic accents waiting for me. Despite the fact that I wasn't in Italy, or even Europe, I was standing in northern Morocco.
Volubilis, a Unesco World Heritage site, was built in the third century BCE and grew to be a significant Roman colony. Bathhouse mosaics and antique mills previously used to manufacture olive oil could still be seen, the collapsed structures now relics of a civilisation lost to time. Low lying valleys and twisting streams seemed to spread in all directions from the hilltop where the ruins stood, broken only by the silhouette of the Atlas Mountains towering in the distance.
