Riad Al Faras - A traditional Moroccan riad steps from Jamaâ El Fna Square with a patio pool, roof terrace, and cooking classes
Nestled in the heart of the Medina, this three-star traditional Moroccan riad is just a five-minute walk from Jamaâ El Fna Square, offering a peaceful retreat with a swimming pool in the patio and a roof terrace. Riad Al Faras features six rooms with private bathrooms and air conditioning, decorated to combine simplicity and comfort. The on-site restaurant serves breakfast each morning with traditional Moroccan bread and a selection of jams, and also hosts themed dinner nights. Guests at Riad Al Faras can participate in cooking classes or relax on the roof terrace with sun loungers. The swimming pool is open year-round, and the patio provides a quiet, shaded area. Free WiFi is available in all rooms and public spaces. A 24-hour front desk assists with luggage storage and airport shuttle arrangements. Family rooms are available, accommodating up to three guests. The riad is located in a quiet alley, providing immediate access to the souks while maintaining a tranquil atmosphere inside. Private parking is available nearby.
