RIAD MEKNES | MEKNES

This charming riad was part of the Palace of King Moulay Ismail who ruled Morocco in the 17th century. Well positioned to explore the sights of the Imperial City; it benefits from a swimming pool set in delightful patio gardens and an excellent view of the medina and the surrounding countryside from the terrace. It has a sizeable restaurant much frequented by tourists at lunch time. The characterful rooms are varied in size and décor.

Berber Suite

Accommodation: Each of the 6 bedrooms is decorated with a contrasting theme, including some with 4 poster beds and one with the décor of a Berber wedding tent.

Location: Tucked away in a maze of alleys on the north edge of the Imperial City, but conveniently situated for souks and sights. Meknes, a prior capital of Morocco, has superb medina just a short stroll away, and is a pleasant place to explore.

Fez is just 50 minutes away by train.  The ruins of Volubilis, a Roman settlement constructed on what was probably a Carthaginian city, dating from 3rd century BC is just 45 minutes away. 

Services and other points to note: Often known as “Petit Didi” after the larger palace riad nearby, run by the same local family.

Meals: Breakfast in included. The riad has a reputation for good food.

Staff: Managed by welcoming Ishmael whose family have owned the riad for many generations.
