Riad Dombaraka is a beautiful place to stay.
It has a tranquil courtyard with a small pool for guests to cool down in.
The plants are exquisite, and listening to the birds singing amongst the foliage is so relaxing.
Every inch of riad Dombaraka is tastefully decorated with beautiful paintings and furniture. It feels as though you are staying in a royal palace.
The rooftop is spacious with great views. It’s great for sunbathing with plenty of spaces to sit soaking up the hot, morroccan sun.
There is a wonderful library with an assortment of books and fine furnishings.
The riad is kept spotlessly clean, and the staff are friendly and happy as they go about their job.
Riad Dombaraka is owned by a French woman called Dominique, who gives her guests the warmest welcome on arrival.
She suggests places to eat and visit, also arranging transport through the souks to get to them. I always felt safe and well looked after.
The breakfast was lovely. It was traditional Morroccan food with plenty of variety and very filling.
Riad Dombaraka is not particularly budget accommodation, but it is definitely good value for money.
It is an elegant riad whilst maintaining its traditional character and charm.
Guests are offered fresh water for free and asked if they would like mint tea.
Relaxing by the pool, listening to soft music and birds singing, you would never know the craziness of the Souks was literally a stones throw away outside the door.
Outside the riad door, there is still evidence of the earthquake in 2023.
There are locals selling vegetables and fish, giving a true picture of morroccan life.
Inside the riad, you experience a whole different world. One of decadence and serenity.
I highly recommend Riad Dombaraka.
It is absolutely stunning, and guests are treated well.
It’s like staying in a warm, homely environment, and the food is delicious.
