& Marrakech  

Every month or so I feature a destination, hotel or resort on this page which in my opinion is offering something special, even if it’s just simple value for money.

From the moment you walk through the door of Riad Jonan you will realize that you have entered an oasis of calm and tranquillity. The Riad is complemented with hand made furniture from the craftsmen of the Medina with designs and ideas from the English owners.

Situated in the Royal Quarter of the Medina Close to the Saadien Tombs and a Renowned Spa - Massage therapy centre. Riad Jonan offers a true Sanctuary within its walls, yet only ten minutes walk to the main square of Djemma El Fna.

The entrance hall opens into the pretty courtyard with hand laid terracotta tiled floors, mosaic tiled fountain, trees and flowering plants, one of the areas where breakfast can be taken.

The ground floor houses two of the bedrooms that tend to be cooler in the warmer months.

Djemaa El-Fna is the highlight of any Marrakech night. Musicians, dancers, and story tellers pack this square at the heart of the medina. Scores of stalls sell a wide array of Moroccan fare

The Souks (suuqs), or markets of Marrakech, just adjacent to Place Djemaa El-Fna, are where you can buy almost anything. From spices to shoes, jellabas to kaftans, tea pots to tagines and much, much more.

Saadian Tombs were not discovered until the beginning of the 20th century and  have been preserved just like they were during the glory days of the Saadian rulers. Unlike the El Badi Palace, they were not destroyed, probably for superstitious reasons. The entrance was blocked so they remained untouched for hundreds of years.
