About Riad Alaka

Two courtyards anchor Riad Alaka, a restored merchant house on Derb Alaka in the Bab Doukala quarter, northwest of Jemaa el-Fna's medina core. Terracotta tadelakt walls and a cedar-beamed salon separate the property from the newer guesthouses nearer the square.

A rooftop terrace overlooks Bab Doukala's mosque minaret, and breakfast rotates between courtyard and roof depending on season. The riad suits travellers wanting medina immersion without the noise of the central souks.

Bab Doukala's gate and bus terminus sit five minutes on foot, useful for onward trips to Essaouira or the Atlas foothills.
