Riad Ailen

Just back from a trip to Marrakesh with easyJet holidays. From booking to flying it was a seamless experience. Arrived in Marrakesh and found the easyJet rep just outside the terminal as expected. She showed us to our driver and he took us to our accommodation. On the way he contacted the Riad we were staying in. (A Riad is a house inside the walls of a Medina but you can’t get a car all the way in) the guy he rang was waiting for us at the walls entrance to guide us to the Riad which was about 200 yards. Accommodation was spotless and the staff really friendly and welcoming. The Savoy it’s not but our room was very adorable. Double bed, couch, wardrobe, toilet and shower. Oh.. and there’s a pool in the centre of the Riad, which I was in after a day walking the narrow streets. The streets are incredible with hundreds of motorcycles and mopeds with the odd donkey and cart moving things around. You get used to it very quickly as they avoid you as they whizz past. The colours, smells and sounds are absolutely incredible. Breakfast set us up for the day with different breads, jam, honey, coffee, omelettes and yogurt. We were on the edge of the Median with easy access to the many narrow streets, shops and souks. The manger arranged our return pickup and our driver was 5 minutes early to take us back to the airport. This was a fantastic holiday from start to finish and considered it great value.
