Riad Safia

The restored courtyard riad off Avenue Mohammed V, Riad Safia sits inside Rabat's Medina walls behind a narrow impasse entrance easy to miss from the main road. Zellige tilework and a citrus-planted patio anchor the ground floor beneath rooms arranged around the open well.

The Kasbah des Oudayas is a ten-minute walk north, and the Medina's souk alleys run directly outside the door, making the location suited to travellers who want walkable access over drive-in convenience. Rooftop breakfast overlooks the Medina's flat roofline toward the Bou Regreg estuary.
