The best area to stay in Dar Bel Amri is within a riad in the Medina, the historic heart of the city.
The Medina is a labyrinth of narrow, winding alleyways, bustling souks (markets), and traditional Moroccan homes, many of which have been converted into stunning riads. It's an enclosed area, mostly pedestrianised, with the main entrance often near Bab El Had, one of the city's old gates. You'll find a blend of local life and artisanal shops here, offering everything from spices to leather goods.
Couples looking for a romantic and culturally rich experience will find the Medina perfect. Staying in a riad offers a private and tranquil retreat from the lively streets, often with a central courtyard, rooftop terraces, and traditional Moroccan decor. It's an ideal base for exploring the local markets and enjoying intimate dinners.
For solo travellers keen on experiencing the local culture and having everything at their doorstep, the Medina is also an excellent fit.
