About the neighborhood

Medina and Skala

Why choose the medina?

  • The ramparts, the port and the monuments within easy reach
  • Riads and guest houses with roof terraces, sometimes facing the ocean
  • Restaurants, cafés and craft workshops on your doorstep
  • The beach just outside the old town

Good to know

The medina is largely closed to cars. Ask your riad where to meet: many offer to come and collect you. The lanes are simpler than in Fès or Marrakech, but the doors look alike: make a careful note of the address.
