Riad Horizon - A 3-star riad in Essaouira's Old Medina with sea-view rooms and walkable ramparts

Riad Horizon occupies a restored property in Essaouira's Old Medina, a historic district enclosed by 18th-century gates like Bab Doukkala. The 3-star hotel features double rooms with private patios and sea views, seating areas, and free Wi-Fi. Guests can enjoy meals at nearby restaurants such as Vagues Bleues and Chez Omar, both within 300 meters. The riad is within walking distance of landmarks like the Chaim Pinto Synagogue (500 meters) and the Sqala of the port (500 meters). Rooms come equipped with terraces, garden furniture, and free toiletries. A continental breakfast is available each morning at Riad Horizon. The surrounding area includes walkable ramparts with ocean views and cultural sites like the Gallery Kasbah (300 meters).

Pros

The Old Medina location provides direct access to historic landmarks and ocean-view ramparts.

Double rooms feature private patios with sea views and free Wi-Fi.

Multiple dining options, including Vagues Bleues and Chez Omar, are within a 5-minute walk.

Cons
