The mysterious city of Fez fascinates by strongly reflecting the essential periods of Moroccan history. Fez is Morocco's oldest imperial city, with a cultural and spiritual influence through the past and present that have made it one of the capitals of Islamic civilisation.

Fez holds the richest and most remarkable architecture of Morocco. At the same time, Fez is discrete; to discover its secrets, you'll need to take your time.

You will be amazed by the complexity of the architecture of the Riads and the numerous narrow streets that create a labyrinth of Fez's medina, classified in 1978 as a UNESCO world heritage site.

Fourteen kilometres of ochre and sand coloured walls run around the medina of Fez. The Rif Valley and the Middle Atlas regions surround the city.

Riad al Bartal, which means the house of Fez, is a magical refuge one block from a main entrance to the medina. The central patio, illuminated by the sun, contrasts with the soft lights of the rooms, where one finds detailed zelliges, polished marble, delicious scents of cedar, red and gold of lacquered woods, all inviting you to rest, relax and let things go.
