Riad L'Aziza

Twenty steps off Derb Guenaoua, Riad L'Aziza hides behind an unmarked door in the Mouassine quarter, its rooms arranged around a central courtyard with a plunge pool and citrus trees. The Medina's tanneries and Ben Youssef Madrasa both lie within a ten-minute walk, making it a quiet base for travellers keen to avoid Jemaa el-Fna's noise while staying close to it.

Breakfast is served on the rooftop terrace, with Atlas Mountain views on clear mornings. Staff arrange private guides for the souks and can direct guests to nearby hammams rarely listed on tourist maps.
