The Riad is part of a complex of riads outside the Medina, near the wall, which is convenient for late‑night arrivals since the taxi drops you right inside. The complex has several restaurants and two mini‑markets, which helps with logistics. However, the Riad had no reception desk, so I had to arrange a time with the owner to pay the tourist tax—when traveling you never know what time you’ll arrive. We arrived very late on the first night and there wasn’t even a bottle of water in the room, which is a big problem for someone from Europe not used to tap water. Also, the room had no windows, was extremely stuffy (30 °C at 3 am), and because there was no natural ventilation we had to run the air conditioner every night, which made sleeping difficult. The room also lacked the toiletries advertised, the toilet was very small, barely usable, and had a strong sewage smell. It’s far from the Medina on foot.
