About Riads in the medina
Riads, the courtyard houses of the medina, are the property most foreign buyers dream of; many lanes are reachable only on foot, and the title deed and a survey of the old structure matter more than anywhere.
Opening hours, prices and seasonal openings change, so please check with Riads in the medina before you go.
