Ryad A&B Sarai

Stretched along Rue 16 Novembre in Chefchaouen's Quartier Administratif, Ryad A&B Sarai sits a ten-minute walk below the blue-washed medina lanes, close enough for morning wandering without the alley noise after dark — a practical base for photographers and couples who want the medina's color without sleeping inside its maze.

Rooms open onto a tiled courtyard rather than a corridor, and the rooftop terrace faces the Rif foothills that ring the town. Staff arrange onward transport to Akchour's waterfalls, a common day trip guests otherwise struggle to book locally.
