Whether it's because of their historical links, cafés and restaurants or striking beauty, some streets draw bigger crowds than others. Make tracks to Rue des Mérinides and discover why it's such a tourist attraction.

This public thoroughfare is often on the itineraries of visitors to Ville Nouvelle. But Rue des Mérinides isn't the area's only highlight. University of Al Quaraouiyine, Medersa Bou-Inania, and Marinid Tombs are some other recommended attractions nearby.

Beautiful Riad, the detail of the property is amazing. The staff was very helpful and has amazing food. Rooms were clean with comfortable beds. The road to Medina is less than the 5 minutes away. No complaints, will definitely stay there again.

9.6/10 Exceptional! (128 reviews)

Property was nice but not overwhelming. austere would be the way to describe the decor. The rooms were a good size and service was good. But overall, there was nothing memorable about this Riad. Also, as is true for most riads in the Medina, one would have to be picked at the nearest car access and be transported by luggage service to the Riad itself. We are used to this, but Dar Bensouda was quite much farther than what would be typical. Good place, but given stiff competition of riads in Marrakech (so many great options at this price level), will likely not come back…
