Location & Transportation
Riad Dar Massai is located in the Kasbah district at the southern end of Marrakesh's Medina, 0.5 km from Saadian Tombs and Badi Palace, 1 km from Palacio da Bahia and Jewish Cemetery Miaara, and 1.5 km from Jemaa el-Fnaa.

“The intimacy here is striking: with only five rooms, a traveler gains a personalized experience steps from the Medina's southern edge. Inside, expect a decorative Moroccan aesthetic, plus a spa and plunge pool for wellness. I think its rooftop views and on-site dining make it a particularly appealing home base.”
