About the neighborhood
North medina: souks, Mouassine and Ben Youssef
Why choose the medina?
- The main monuments within walking distance
- The riad experience, with courtyard and roof terrace
- Souks, crafts and neighbourhood life on your doorstep
- Traditional restaurants and Jemaa el-Fna square in the evening
Good to know
Ask your riad how to reach it on arrival and whether someone can meet you where the taxi drops you off. Riads often have only a few rooms: that is part of their charm, but the services on offer vary a lot from one place to another. At night, finding your way through the alleys takes some getting used to.
Practical information
- Address
- 2 Derb El Farnatchi, Médina, 40000
Good to know
- Medina: cars usually stop some way from the riad and the last stretch is through pedestrian lanes; ask the property where to meet you on arrival.
- The number of rooms is not stated by the property.
