“There are no small riads, you'll see.” My friend Jen joked when I told her of Michele and my plans in Morocco.

I don't actually know how we found Dar 7 Louyat . Our stay at Dar 7 Louyat was one of the first things that came together for our stay in Morocco and it was our first stop. From our driver at the airport to our informal “bellhops” twists and turns in the medina, Dar 7 Louyat warmly embraced us and welcomed us to Morocco.

Trek from Medina to Jebel Zalagh: a wonderful experience

Zalagh mountain is well known in the city of Fez as it is easy to see from every Riad's terrace and many places in the Medina and the new city of Fez. Hiking to its peak is a wonderful experience, while you will be walking through a beautiful countryside and meeting with its landscape, flowers, animals especially donkeys, and the people working in the fields. The Rocky pathways while climbing to reach the highest peak makes it an outstanding experience for mountain lovers. A walk in which you will enjoy an admirable panoramic view of the three sections of the city of Fez, the old Medina, the new Fez, and the new city.
