During our stay in Rabat we stayed in a riad in the heart of the medina. For those who are not familiar with this word, a riad is the traditional Moroccan dwelling found in the medinas. These are dwellings built around a central patio, sometimes transformed into a dining room or living room. The bedrooms are located all around this central location. The riads are almost always on several floors, its roof, which serves as a terrace, offers you a clear view of the medina. It is therefore in a riad that we decided to stay in Rabat.
The location
Location is one of the number 1 qualities of a home. Indeed no one likes having to walk or take public transport at the slightest activity. Riad Azahra enjoys an ideal location. Indeed the riad is located in a small quiet street with very little traffic. It is located north of the medina not far from the famous Kasbah de oudayas. You will find something to eat within a 3-minute walk and can reach all of Rabat and Salé with the metro, which is a 10-minute walk away.
To reach the riad from the station, take a taxi, it will take you to avenue laalou, less than 5 minutes walk from the riad.
A charming riad
As I told you earlier, a riad is built around a central patio. That of the riad Azahra will allow you to rest during the day but also places of meals for your evening at the riad.
Around this patio you will find lounges to rest, to meet or even a room to have breakfast.
You will also find the bedrooms. These are neat, very clean, they overlook the patio.
They have a very large bathroom with a walk-in shower, tastefully decorated.
One of the strengths of this riad is its terrace. This riad has two beautiful terraces where it is very pleasant to sunbathe or even in the evening when night has fallen, drinking tea in peace is a real pleasure.
Who says rooftop terrace, says view. This riad offers a panoramic view of the medina of Rabat which will delight you.
