Dar Amine

Converted from a traditional riad on Rue Sidi Fateh, Dar Amine sits inside Rabat's old medina, wedged between two jewellery shops beside Halawiat Sbai pastry counter. The narrow lane rules out cars, making it a quiet base for travellers who want walkable access to the medina's souks rather than a modern hotel district.

Rooms keep carpeted floors and ceiling fans instead of air conditioning, with electric kettles for in-room tea. A shared terrace overlooks the medina rooftops.

Oudaya Kasbah and the Bou Regreg riverfront are both within easy walking distance of the front door.
