The holy cow* riad

When Khalid from Ryad Alya took us on our tour of Fes riads, we lucked out because he got us in to see a private riad that's still under construction (and has been for two years). It was, well, stunning. Unbelievably so. It's a huge riad...and going to be gorgeous when all is said and done. You can judge for yourselves :-)

This area is going to be a pool.

The ceiling, which is retractible! Perfect, isn't it? There are a few other riads I'd like to show you, but my internet connection is awful. I'll try later this week or weekend.

*My husband thought the previous title wasn't "professional" enough so apologies for the dorky new name!
