There's a shaded roof terrace for leisurely breakfasts and vegetarian meals (dinner Dh200). They can arrange cooking classes and massages, tea with a family, and dispatch you to the neighbouring hammam fully equipped.

There are plenty of board games and books available for younger guests, along with a kid's menu.
