This bright and clean medina riad is one of the freshest you'll find in the region. Turquoise doors with handles shaped like hamsas (signifying the hand of God) hide comfortable dorms and suites over several floors. Dorm beds are divided by walls and curtains. Breakfast is served on the rooftop where there's a quality lounge and view.
