This traditional Moroccan Riad is about 30 minutes outside of the Marrakesh medina. It’s location is a remote desert setting surrounded by a residential village with lots of young kids, groups of camels, ATV rentals, palm trees and stray dogs. The Riad itself is authentic, an old fort like structure with a beautiful open courtyard complete with flowering plants and koi. There are 26 rooms, all ensuite, with modern plumbing and comfortable beds. Bedding is changed and rooms are cleaned daily. There is a heater/AC in every room. There are three dining rooms, two opening out onto beautiful potted gardens and a smaller one in the area of a well stocked bar. Breakfast was available every morning before guests left for their tours & was more than enough to last us all until tea time. Fruit, pastries, pie, cakes, eggs, toast and fresh buns, orange juice, coffee, tea, milk and hot water. The menu for dinner was not huge but covered more than enough choices of home made meals, soups, salad and fish. All served with fresh bread & bottled water. We tried the local Casablanca wine and it was lovely! Hassan, the Kasbah’s wonderful driver took us up into Atlas Mountains, on a breathtaking tour of remote Berber villages, cafes and craft shops. We had a tour of the location for filming of Game of Thrones and walked in and around the oldest Kasbah in North Africa. Hassan also drove us to Essaouira on the coast and gave us a tour along the way. Goats in trees, Argan Oil co-ops and the medina. Hassan’s English is limited but his French was easy to understand even though our high school French was last studied almost 60 years ago.
