A Luxurious and Attentive Experience

high-quality linens lounging area rooftop terrace
The decor and architecture preserved a lifestyle unchanged for decades. I found the comfortable beds and high-quality linens a bonus. The thoughtfully designed lounging areas across three levels were extensive (I particularly enjoyed the rooftop terrace).
The riad's location required a taxi for convenient access. Taxis took 15-20 minutes to arrive. I found this slightly inconvenient, but the staff were always helpful in arranging transport.
