About Riad Bab Chems

Forty steps off Derb Dabachi, Riad Bab Chems hides behind an unmarked wooden door in the Medina's tannery-adjacent quarter, its courtyard cut around a single orange tree and a plunge pool no wider than a hallway. This is a practical base for travellers wanting walkable access to Jemaa el-Fnaa without the square's noise.

Rooms keep tadelakt plaster walls and cedar-beam ceilings; none share a floor plan. Breakfast is served rooftop, with the Koutoubia minaret visible above the neighboring rooftops.

Jemaa el-Fnaa is an eight-minute walk through narrow derbs; porters meet guests at the nearest passable street since cars cannot enter.
