Riads
Except for a single overnight stay in an hotel in Midelt, we stayed in Riads throughout our holiday. They were all very charming and very different to any other accommodation we have stayed in.
The Riads only had a few rooms each and the owners (mostly French) were most welcoming and helpful. I would recommend them all. At the time that I have updated these pages some 17 years after the holiday, its nice to know that all these riads are still in business & that the web links work.

Riad Dar el Mouhit, Rabat
The only thing wrong with our 200-year old Riad in Rabat was its close proximity to the largest mosque in the city. The pre-dawn call to prayer was an unwelcome surprise.
Riad Lune et Soleil – Fes
Ann checking the guide book in our imaginatively decorated Marmoucha Suite at our Fez Riad. Jurgen was a most genial host – thanks by the way for proving that some Moroccan wines are excellent! We had superb food here! I am not sure why the saddle was set up in our bedroom, but obviously I had to try it! We had a really cool bathroom.
Kasbah Mohayut – Merzouga.
Our room was decorated in the style of a Berber tent in the Sahara. Breakfast and dinner were served in the courtyard.
If you are staying in Skoura, I would well recommend this riad. Don’t try to find it in the dark! It is set some 4Km from the road on a track marked with coloured boulders – easy to miss your way at night.
There were pomegranates in the gardens here & some unusual flowers
Riad el Borj – Marrakech
The “guard” dog was very good at begging for food when we had breakfast in the courtyard.
