Bab Ftouh had an important defensive role during its time. Now a historic site, you can only imagine some of the scenes its mighty walls have witnessed.

You'll be spoiled for sightseeing choice when spending time in Quartier Des Potiers. Bab Ftouh is a good place to start here, but there are numerous other interesting places to explore. Tombs of the Merenides, Medersa Bou-Inania and Blue Gate are close to the history-filled fortress and will fill in your day nicely.

9.2/10 Wonderful! (227 reviews)

Excellent facilities, room design and cleanliness of rooms. Staff is friendly. We were treated with tasty sweets each day which was pleasant. King size mattress is set on top of 2 double bed frames so the middle part of the bed is not very comfortable to sleep on, but very comfortable on either left or right side. Surrounding area outside of hotel premises has ongoing construction being done. The hotel bar has a DJ and sometimes live music going until around midnight each day and the bass carries into our hotel room which may be a problem if you’re a light sleeper but we were able to sleep thru it by spending our energy exploring the Medina and surrounding city.
