Ryad Bahia




In Meknes, I met an incredibly fascinating woman named Bouchra Jamai who together with her husband, ran this ryad within the medina. She was not only highly-educated, speaking 5 languages, but she was also very well-travelled. This is her ryad, the Ryad Bahia. When you are in Morocco, you must stay in one of these traditional style town houses. They are beautiful and give you a sense of being in an Arabic country. I'm afraid my photos probably do not do justice to the splendour of this dwelling but at least you get the picture.
