Ryad Mabrouka
A night in Fes on your Morocco tour — a charming traditional riad in the heart of the ancient medina, with a rare garden and pool, a panoramic rooftop terrace over the old city, and beautifully decorated ensuite rooms.
The riad
A garden, a pool and a rooftop view — a rare oasis in the old medina of Fes.
Ryad Mabrouka is a charming, characterful riad in the heart of Fès el-Bali — the ancient walled medina — a couple of minutes’ walk from the main pedestrian street and the Blue Gate. Faithfully restored in the traditional Fes style, it wraps a courtyard of sculpted mosaic columns, carved cedar doors and a bubbling fountain, which opens — rare in this dense old city — onto a Mediterranean garden of roses and orange trees with a small swimming pool.
Up on the roof, a panoramic terrace looks out over the medina and the surrounding hills. There’s a traditional hammam, and meals are taken in the garden under the orange trees or on the terrace with the city spread below. Dinner on your arrival evening and breakfast each morning are included.
