Riad Andalib

Reibal Idrissi, Owner of Riad Andalib. Came back home to Fes, Morocco after he spent nearly twenty years in Montreal-Canada. Obtained a bachelor degree at a business school (HEC), worked as consultant for contract bond companies before opening a new concept of fast food restaurant in Montreal. The idea of opening a guest house in Fes-Morocco is only a natural desire to come back home and participate to his hometown development. This traditional guest house is originally a family propriety witch was falling into pieces (a complete ruin) and brought back to life after 6 years of hard work and perseverance. Reibal knows about the importance of patience and loyalty in the world of hospitality. Reibal pursues interests in travel, art, design, architecture, food, and wine.

Situated in the heart of the oldest town in Morocco. Fez-Medina considered as one of the most extensive and best conserved historic towns of the Arab-Muslim world, was founded by the Idrisid dynasty between 789 and 808 A.D. The original town was comprised of two large fortified quarters separated by the Fez river, the banks of the Andalous and those of the Kaïrouanais. Our establishment is situated along the river on the Andalousian quarters founded by the Andalousians around the 15th century and representing a great variety of architectural forms and urban landscapes including a considerable number of religious and civil monuments. Very easy to visit all the places of interest, the first built university in the world, wood museum, Madrassas, brass works, potteries, the tannery, carpet makers and so on.
