There are five bedrooms of varying sizes and all air-conditioned (three with en suite bathrooms, two sharing a fourth bathroom), a hanging garden. Two roofs open onto the patio and the swimming pool and there is a unique system of central heating (rare commodity in Fes). There is ample choice to make this holiday the perfect break, whether it is to rest, to swim, enjoy massages, or simply read or listen to music; all of this is an experience worth living whilst enjoying the sophisticated cuisine of this city laden with history and tradition.

TOP 10 REASONS TO STAY AT RIAD MISBAH

• All-inclusive accommodation in a region of the world where it is uncommon.
• The best cultural approach to the Arab world: Experienced guides on request.
• Feel like an Arab prince, in your own palace, with staff at your beck and call. You can summon a masseur/masseuse for the hammam. Merchants will come to display precious rugs and artifacts exclusively for you.
• A palace steeped in the most amazing medina (old city) of the Arab world. Totally safe and with most medina dwellers speaking French, and many English.
• A unique, heated pool that you can enjoy in total seclusion (see pictures).
• Make friends with the cosmopolitan community of foreign medina house-owners.
• Enjoy the many cultural festivals (world sacred music, culinary, jazz, sufi traditions, etc.)
• Enjoy the incredible acoustics of the palace: flood the sound system with your own music or that provided by the house.
• Hold your special celebration in a Thousand-and-One-Nights surrounding: just the two of you or with your party of friends. We can add the spice of an Arab wedding procession inside and/or outside the house.
• Hold your private strategic seminar or creative rehearsal (Bono and U2 did it close by without being disturbed).
