Riad Mazar Fes

Riad Mazar Fes is a mid-range guesthouse at 12 Rue 2, Arset Bennis Douh, in the Douh area of Fès el-Bali, in Morocco's Fès-Meknès region. The Douh district lies along the Oued Fès river on the lower part of the old medina, a short walk from the Qarawiyyin quarter, Place Seffarine and the Bou Inania Madrasa, and within a reasonable walk of Bab Boujloud. Vehicles stop at the medina edge, so the final stretch is on foot, and the staff can help with luggage. The property is a traditional house arranged around a courtyard, with zellige tilework, carved plaster and cedar details in the Fassi style. Accommodation is limited to Double Rooms and Triple Rooms, with air conditioning and WiFi, which suits small groups and families on a budget. Nightly rates run from about 600 MAD in low season to roughly 1000 MAD in high season, making it one of the more affordable riads in the old city. Breakfast is served at the property, and a rooftop terrace offers views across the medina rooftops. The riad does not list a pool, spa or full restaurant, so guests typically eat in the medina's small restaurants nearby, and the staff can recommend options. Service is friendly and informal, with help arranging guided medina tours and day trips to Meknès, Volubilis and Moulay Idriss. The property suits budget-conscious couples and independent travellers who prioritise location and a courtyard-riad atmosphere over extensive facilities.
