Tours and Services
The riad is near C.C.I.S Fes (1 km), the Maze of Fez (0.5 km), and Medersa Bouanania (1 km). Desert tours combine Fez and Marrakech, with an overnight stay in the Merzouga desert. Spa and hammam treatments are also provided. The riad offers 24-hour room service and free WiFi. A half-day tour includes Sefrou, at the foot of the Middle Atlas Mountains, where Arabs and Jews lived together. The tour continues to Bhalil, famed for cave homes.
“Riad Dar Guennoun, with its authentic Hispano-Moorish architecture, stands as a testament to Fes's rich cultural heritage; its location, slightly removed from the Medina's center, provides convenient access and a peaceful retreat. Cooking classes and a rooftop terrace enhance the experience, while the personalized spa services promise authentic Moroccan wellness. In my opinion, this riad truly captures the essence of Fes.”
