Riad El Yacout is a former old traditional home that has been carefully restored to provide hospitable, comfortable and affordable luxury accommodation. The house was built by a famous researcher & professor at university of Quaraouiyine in the 16th century. In the year 2000, the current owners bought this property and spent years to restore the riad . Ideally situated in the heart of the bustling Fez Medina near the large Batha Fountain, Riad El Yacout provides easy access to the Medina and the famous Blue Gate (Bab Boujloud).

The city of Fez is a medieval world treasure. When you stroll beneath the famous blue gate of Bab Boujeloud, you are seemingly transported 1,000 years back in time. The bustling cafés and outdoor markets quickly give way to quiet narrow streets where children are hard at play and donkeys are hard at work carrying supplies up and down the twisting, mud brick corridors of the medieval city.

This is the oldest part of Fez, Fez el-Bali, and it is the world’s largest car-free urban space as well as a UNESCO World Heritage Site. This is where most travelers spend their time in Fez. As you walk through this medina, you are literally walking through 1,300 years of Moroccan heritage that has only recently been touched by the advent of globalization and the recent influx of tourists.
