Riad Lakhdar

Forty steps down a quiet R'mila lane in the Medina's northern quarter, Riad Lakhdar keeps a traditional courtyard layout with a central plunge pool and rooftop terrace facing the Atlas foothills on clear days.

Rooms wrap the courtyard on two levels, each finished with tadelakt plaster and cedar-wood ceilings; upper rooms get more light, lower ones stay cooler through summer afternoons.

Jemaa el-Fnaa lies roughly fifteen minutes on foot through the souk alleys, making the riad a calm counterpoint for travellers who want the Medina without street noise at night.
