Sunset at Volubilis ruins

Breathe taking sunset view at Volubilis ruins.
My advice : Try to visit this ruin earlier in the day & not after a rainy day.
My shoes all filled with clay mud & its so hard to clean.
We walked back at almost total darkness. We were so lucky to have a guide and there is no electric light at the site.

Ruines of ancient Roman Decumanus Maximus

Handsome tiles still looks good !
Look, the character in the middle is smiling at us !
Who ever used to own this place with such nice art work as floor tiles, must have exquiste taste & a wonderful designer.
