Our Moroccan Riad

This Riad has been the most wonderful experience, we are the first guests here, they are nearly ready to open for business and we have been the first to enjoy the beauty of this place. Ibrahim and Jalal have looked after us so well, we could not ask for anything more, from delicious breakfasts each morning, shopping trips, taxis and washing service, nothing has been too much trouble for them. Each morning we have been greeted by the sound of the orange juicer, fresh orange juice, traditional Moroccan soup, an array of breads and pastries, a wonderful start to each day.

The Medina is extensive, many lane ways, small little passages and thoroughfares, with the help of Ibrahim and Jalal we have been able to gain a little understanding of the beauty of Moroccan life.

The riad is owned by Sahib, also the owner of a very beautiful carpet shop. He has been a gracious host, also welcoming us with open arms. And of course, all of these men have been great friends of Karim's so we have felt very much at home.

This is Ibrahim's email address for anyone planning a trip to Fes, we hope one day some of our family and friends may travel this way to enjoy the magic of Morocco.

The courtyard, open air from above with windows that are closed at night. Lovely yellow covered couches surround the walls, beautiful tiles and plaster work to admire as you relax and enjoy the ambience.




Our bedroom, beautiful room, maybe the bed was a little hard, but no real complaints here! Gorgeous furnishings everywhere, carpets and particularly the lights all make up the beauty of the place.


Breakfast in the morning, Olivia and I are ready to tuck in
