Location
Riad Fes Baraka sits within a short walking distance of key historical landmarks such as the Bou Inania Madrasa (435 meters) and Dar al-Magana, a medieval water clock monument located about 444 meters away. The riad is in the old Medina of Fes, a location confirmed as central and accessible by car, although narrow roads can complicate taxi drop-offs. Guests often find it easier to take a taxi to the nearby Blue Gate and walk the remaining distance. The hotel is 14 km from FEZ (Sais) Airport. Nearby dining options include LeSalaj Restaurant - Fez Cooking Class, just 282 meters from the property, offering additional culinary experiences.
Tips
- Plan to arrive via the Blue Gate by taxi due to narrow Medina roads making direct car access difficult.
- Take advantage of the riad's swimming pool for relaxation after sightseeing.
- Book dinners on-site to enjoy freshly prepared meals at good value, but be prepared for some upselling of tours during mealtime.

Absolutely exceptional experience at Riad Fes Baraka—easily a 5-star stay! From the moment we arrived, Samir, the property manager, provided a level of personal service that truly rivaled the world’s most exclusive hotels. He went above and beyond to make our stay unforgettable, anticipating every need and offering thoughtful recommendations—having Samir felt like having a dedicated concierge at your side 24/7.
The entire staff was warm, attentive, and always ready to help, creating a genuinely welcoming atmosphere throughout the riad. We especially recommend booking the AlArabesca room: it’s on the ground floor directly facing the pool, offering both privacy and immediate access to a pool that’s well above the usual riad standard—perfect for relaxing after a day exploring Fes.
