“Cozy, winter stay in this lovey Riad”
Tamara F
We just returned from a week long trip to Morroco beginning with a stay at the Riad Moucharabieh. The best part about this Riad is the personal service. We arrived mid day from the airport in Morroco and had rented a car (really bad idea, but we were driving to Agadir in a few days). I called the Riad and Nora helped us figure out how to park as close as possible to the Riad. We had troubles negotiating the price for parking and in the end, it was Nora who negotiated down to a reasonable, tourist price for two days of parking. Majid met us at our car to bring us in through the chaotic Medina to the Oasis of the Riad. The building itself is lovely, with two internal courtyards (one in each of the buildings). We were greeted with mint tea, nuts and dried apricots. Our whole stay at the Riad was like this - attentive, helpful service from Nora, Majid and Didier (the owner). One night we stayed in for dinner at the Riad and the Chicken Tajine was some of the best we had in Morroco. Another night we went out on New Year's Eve and Nora and Majid helped arrange a driver for us that made all of the difference. Breakfasts were phenomenal, different Morrocan breads, jam and eggs on request. In terms of the rooms, they are cozy and homey, not 'fancy and done.' They have fireplaces (which Majid helped us with one night) and open bathrooms with great water pressure and traditional Morrocan tiles. Don't expect modern, the decor is meant to be traditional. Our original booking got screwed up by hotelquicly and the owner personally worked overtime to rectify the situation. This is a great pick - I highly recommend.
