Riad ELIZZI

Twelve rooms wrap a central courtyard behind an unmarked door on Derb Zaouia, off Bab Doukkala on the medina's northwest edge — closer to the tanneries and local souks than the tourist-heavy Jemaa el-Fna route, a five-minute walk east. The riad suits travellers wanting an authentic medina stay without the crowds around the main square.

A plunge pool sits at courtyard center, shaded by orange trees; breakfast is served on the rooftop terrace with views over Bab Doukkala's minarets. Staff arrange taxi pickup from the nearest accessible road, since cars cannot enter this stretch of the medina.
