Riad Sun of Kech

Forty-eight steps from the nearest tanner's alley, Riad Sun of Kech sits inside the Zaouia El Abbassia quarter on Derb Charai, a residential pocket of the medina north of Jemaa el-Fnaa where cars can't follow and a local guide or hand-drawn map helps on the first walk in.

Rooms open onto a central courtyard rather than a street, keeping interiors quiet after the souks close. Breakfast is served on the roof terrace, with the Koutoubia minaret visible above the rooftops.

Jemaa el-Fnaa is roughly fifteen minutes on foot, making this a base suited to travelers wanting an authentic riad stay over hotel-district convenience.
