# Al Ismailia

## Travel Guide

![It's quite a walk from the medina, and when you first walk inside it doesn't seem to impressive. But the longer you stay, the more impressive it does become.

Wander through the large halls, admire the architecture and head out back to the long rows of stables...it's a cool place to spend an hour.

Things to do

### Where to stay in Al Ismailia

![Yup. I could live in this traditional Moroccan guesthouse. This is one of the several common areas that left me in awe.

It's like staying in a palace, complete with courtyards, a rooftop overlooking the entire city, incredible staff, the best food we've had in the country and even a swimming pool.
