Dar Niema

Above the narrow lanes of Rabat's old medina, Dar Niema occupies a restored riad on Rue Benjelloule, its rooftop terrace clearing the surrounding rooflines for views toward the Kasbah des Oudayas. A five-minute walk covers the medina's souks; the Bou Regreg estuary and Andalusian Gardens sit within ten.

Rooms wrap a tiled central courtyard, cooler than the street-facing riads nearby, with a shared lounge kept stocked for evening tea rather than a formal bar. It suits travellers wanting walkable access to the old city without hotel-scale anonymity, though narrow medina alleys mean luggage transfer is by hand cart, not car.
