Riad Adiki is up a narrow street of around one and a half metres across. You duck under a couple of low arches, turn left along an even narrow passage, skirting the area where the cobbles have been taken up for repair (who knows when), past the rubbish bins to a large wooden door. Through this and you’re in another world – old Islam – the floor of coloured tiles with rich rugs and hangings and a central pool in a courtyard opening to the sky. There is a balcony and a total of eight rooms. It’s family run and feels it from the friendly, informal welcome. The staff sing cheerfully as they go about their work. The best meal of our holiday was served here.
The riad is about 15 or 20 minutes walk from the main square. At first we thought it was too far from the centre, many are much closer, but we grew to really like this. For at least half the walk we see no other foreigners and in any city (I’ve so far visited) I have always preferred to be off the tourist trails.
