“Ryad El Borj sits discreetly in the Medina's heart, steps from Jemaa El Fna yet worlds away in quiet. The riad architecture itself seems to breathe, with orange-shaded patios and spa services promising respite. I imagine evenings here are spent in traditionally styled lounges, a sweet mint tea in hand.”
