RIAD KHALID ZRIKA In the heart of the historic district of Dar El Bacha, five minutes walk from Djemaa el-fna and the souks, is this charmingly laidback riad. There’s no question which country you’re in – the decor goes big on local artisans. There’s also a terrace with gobsmacking views of the Medina and Atlas Mountains. airbnb.co.nz/ rooms/257536
