Riad Jaaneman

Below the Dar El Bacha palace in Marrakech's northern medina, Riad Jaaneman occupies a restored merchant house on Derb Sraghna, its courtyard centered on a tiled fountain and citrus trees shading the breakfast tables. Narrow lanes separate it from the Ben Youssef Madrasa, a seven-minute walk, and Jemaa el-Fna lies roughly fifteen minutes south on foot, past the tanneries' quieter approach.

Rooms keep carved cedar ceilings and hand-set zellige washbasins rather than uniform modern fittings. A rooftop terrace catches evening light over the Atlas foothills, useful for travelers seeking a slower medina base away from souk congestion.
