Booking Tips
Get the best deals and avoid common mistakes.
Book 2-3 months ahead for peak season (March-May and September-October) when luxury riads sell out far in advance
Riad accommodation includes breakfast in most cases - always confirm what's included when comparing prices
Contact riads directly by email or WhatsApp for potential discounts vs. Booking.com; many offer 10-20% reduction for direct bookings
Riads in the medina have no street address signage - get precise GPS coordinates and WhatsApp your host for a meet-and-greet or directions
Check if your riad has heating - medina nights can be surprisingly cold November through February despite warm days
During Ramadan, many hotels and riads do not serve alcohol and breakfast timing shifts to early morning before Fajr (dawn) prayer
