Visiting the old Ksar of Äit-Ben-Haddou is a unique pleasure, but the rest of the city is just a collection of restaurants and houses on the opposite side of the river. Most people get there just for some hours and then travel further on. But where to stay if you want to spend a night in the city? On a hill above the city you’ll find the Riad Paradise of Silence, a wonderful guesthouse optimized for that.

The Medina of Marrakech is a place full of hustle and bustle. Good if you’ve got a Riad booked that serves you as a calm and quite place for the night. The Riad Khabia is located in a derb close to Rue Berrima in the South of the Medina. It feels a bit hidden but it is very good to reach and has nice rooms, very friendly staff and a good roof terrace with great views. But the best reason to book here is the location: you can walk to most of the important places easily.

The Medina of Fès is car-free and therefore having a Riad close to a city gate or road around is a pure necessity. A good option is the Riad Nazha located in the southern, lower part of the city center. The guesthouse is like a palace and it has a wonderful roof terrace with great views on the Borj Sud fortification. And like always in Morocco you can’t see the beauty of this place from the outside – once you’ve found the door after walking between high houses without decorations an unexpected world opens up.
