Amal Amezargou

Kirwan Riad is located a short walk from where the cars park, through the medina. Our room was lovely but we could not find a switch for one light behind a door, and the cellphone given to us by the Riad rang at 1:30am. The patio was not private, as the dividing screen had fallen. The breakfast was excellent for our vegetarian, but limited to bread and fruit for our vegan. I wish there was some breakfast grain and plant-based milk available to provide protein.

Riad Lina is a charming place high on the hill. Expect to be climbing steps in Chefchouen, and at this Riad. We had a view of the city and sunset from the semi-private terrace. Our room was comfortable and we particularly enjoyed having a swim in the pool, which is room-temp. We are vegetarian/vegan, and the hotel prepared a lovely dinner and breakfast for us. I would prefer to have more vegan protein, aside from wheat. We did taste 5 kinds of local bread.! Highly recommend this Riad.

Our guide, Imad, had studied history and gave us a fuller understanding of the city’s growth in relationship to Spain. He took us on a 2 mile walk to see sites, and was always happy to answer our questions about the culture, city, and the religion. We highly recommend this tour!

Abderrazaq drove us on a side trip to Volubilis, where we met with a guide selected by the tour company. It was a fantastic walk through Volubilis, many mosaics remain, and reconstruction of some structures. Even without the reconstruction, it is possible to see how the large mansions were laid out, and to grasp a bit about life in this city 4,500 years ago. Our driver choose a charming restaurant for vegan/vegetarian lunch. Additionally, we were happy to see the fields and small towns along the drive, and understand more about the Morrocan way of life and economy.

Jamal took us on a five hour tour through the medina, and to the fort, and ceramic cooperative and suggested a wonderful restaurant for a vegetarian/vegan tastes. We enjoyed learning about Fez, the history, culture, religion, and traditions of the handicrafts. We did make large purchases of rugs and ceramics- after seeing the unique quality of the handiwork. There is extraordinary craftmanship to be seen in Fez! We enjoyed the tannery, yarn dying, watching artisans at work, and walking through the busy medina. Highly recommended!

Staying in a Riad, atleast for a day or two, is a must, if you visit Fes/Marrakech. A thoroughly enjoyable and totally different experience

Staff was so friendly and service was amazing. The room was small, but extremely comfortable and classic! The rooftop pool, restaurant and bar were a plus.

Wish we could have stayed longer! Loved the setting of the camp. Eco-conscious. Very friendly. So peaceful and quiet!!

Top notch hotel! Rooftop pool and lounge were amazing. We got upgraded to a suite and loved it! The location close to the Scala and beach was ideal. The restaurant within the hotel was very good and service was fanstastic.

Our guides were so friendly and encouraging! Took some great pictures for us while surfing.

An absolute must have for this trip! So relaxing. An amazing experience.

Felt like Indiana Jones racing through the souks and desert. Our drivers/guides were fantastic and we learned so much.

Really exceed my expectations. The views were breathtaking.

Enjoyed the cooking lesson and made some new friends from Canada during the class and enjoying the meal afterwards.
