Really good Riad Experience

excellent staff detailed map eager staff
The staff were excellent. Houssein provided a map with locations. He shared much of his time helping us find places to visit and things to see. Ibrahim and Roudiane both shared their knowledge of the city. They were eager to help guests.
The plants in the courtyard were lovely. Though the cascading design was the nicest feature, that's about it.
