Very nice Riad Experience

fresh fruit local pastries courtyard pool rooftop terrace

Breakfast included fresh fruit, local pastries, and strong coffee, a wonderful start to each day. The courtyard pool offered a refreshing escape from the heat, I really enjoyed relaxing there. I found the room impeccably clean with daily housekeeping. The rooftop terrace provided fine views of the surrounding area, a peaceful retreat.

The street approaching the riad was a bit narrow for taxi access, I walked the final block.
