Once you reach the medina of Rabat you’ll see that it is entirely surrounded by an ancient city wall. The streets within are mostly traffic-free (with the exception of the Avenue Laalou passing between medina and necropolis), which gives you a nice experience while walking through the old town but also challenges you with the question of how to reach your guesthouse. The Riad Zyo is pretty easy to recht: after passing the Bab Laalou you only need to walk some meters on the Avenue Mohammad V and then turn right into the Rue Moreno. A small plaque at the wall will signal you that you’ve reached your destination.
The friendly staff of the guesthouse will welcome you at a very modern and lightish riad with lots of plants. It is the perfect place to retract from the busy street life and from the roof terrace you can enjoy good views on the houses of the surrounding medina. The riad is in a prime position for exploring the medina, but also the place Bab el Had and the Kasbah are easily reachable on foot. Getting to the Hassan tower and the mausoleum needs a bit longer, but there are always rather cheap taxis available.
