Medina

Built at the end of the 18th century, it is the historic heart of the city and the main center of activity with the port. Surrounded by a Vauban-style wall, the Medina is protected by fortifications where the European style blends harmoniously with the Arab-Muslim style. The Sqala de la Kasbah is an example accessible and open to the public of these fortifications where the walls are still under attack from the ocean. Inside, the maze of alleys divides the districts and the various souks. Fairly organized despite everything, the souk offers all types of products. Clothing rubs shoulders with spices, necklaces, bracelets and other items follow olives and other fruits and vegetables. There are many restaurants where the fresh fish caught in the morning is cooked for lunch or dinner. Many other typical dishes are also offered and it is good to stop on a terrace, in the refreshing shade of the trees. The Medina was listed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 2001.

our opinion

This riad on two facades measures 61 m² on the ground and is located in a well-known artery of Souiris, easy to access from the Bab Marrakech gate.

The entrance serves as a link between the stairs for access to the upper floors and the rooms on the ground floor composed of a cozy living room under a skylight separating two bedrooms and a bathroom with WC.

Upstairs, a large open space room built around the skylight houses a kitchenette, a bathroom with WC, a dining room, a bedroom and a living room with fireplace.

The crossing side of the riad lets in natural light, giving a soft and airy atmosphere.

On the terrace, there is a final bedroom with separate bathroom as well as a solarium with a breathtaking view of the square.

It is also in the shade of a parasol and with a very pleasant view of the ocean that the relaxation area takes on its full meaning.
