I have travelled the world on many trips but this will be a highlight. From the moment we entered the riad it was an oasis of calm and service. Nothing was too much trouble and Fouad provided exceptional personal service. Simple things like booking taxis, recommendations for meals etc, which we had no idea, ended up being highlights of our holiday. The room was spacious, quirky and charming. We were collected from the taxi rank and led through the back streets, and opening the door of the riad showed us a beautiful building. A meal was provided to us when we arrived late - one of the best introductions to Moroccan cuisine. Staff were polite, friendly and helpful. Breakfast was outstanding and always something a little different each day. A small pool in the riad was a welcome chance to cool off, and you could order a mint tea and biscuits if you wanted. The riad is an easy 10 minute walk (allowing time for browsing) to the main square. On the corner is a convenience store for bottled water etc and then souk shops and restaurants all the way into the centre of the city. Our week flew by and it was one of the best holidays we've ever had. My second visit to the city and this time really got into the culture and sites. It felt safe and welcoming. Everyone we met was happy to see us and easy to communicate in French or English. I noticed 10 years after my first visit that the city has less pollution, the taxis are more modern. Some signs of the earthquake but nothing that would put you off. Highlights were the museums - amazing presentations of the history and culture of Morocco. Street markets as you would expect - full on! Food excellent.

We wish we could have stayed longer

Central location, beside the souks and main square, just brilliant
