Company information

My name is Abdellatif Ait Benabdallah, I am the owner of Dar Bensouda and I am a Marrakech & Fes Medina lover. I’ve always had a real admiration for the traditional Moroccan architecture, and I decided to turn this passion into a job. I felt that I had the fine mission to save the Moroccan heritage and I succeeded in restoring more than 200 riads all around the Medina. I kept some of them for myself and I turned them into guesthouses, restaurants and literary cafés. I love the fact of walking around the streets of the Medina and the interaction with the different kinds of people has always been my strength.

Thanks to the patience of Abdellatif Aït Ben Abdallah, well-known for his work in protecting the heritage of the Marrakech medina, this Fez guest house has at last regained it's original soul. Every detail, simple or complex, the harmony of its proportions, the magic of it's colours and the extraordinary marriage of the ceramic tiling with the stucco work and wood, all bear witness to the elegance and refined taste of the first owner, the saint Bensouda (who lies at rest in the Zaouia opposite the riad). The Riad Bensouda is the ideal place for an unforgettable stay - a dream within your reach! Each of the 18 rooms and suites is entered via a majestic door and adorned with a carved wooden ceiling, ceramic-tiled floor and an ornately plastered bathroom. Dar Bensouda offers several communal spaces for relaxing or meeting friends and family: the large lounge with its fireplace, the spacious terrace overlooking the whole of the Fez medina and a restaurant providing refined Moroccan cuisine. And last but not least, the cou
