Cars can't enter the medina, so one of us waits at Bab Sbaa with a cart for your bags. The walk is four minutes and the best introduction to the town.


We take you to the roof first. Tea, a few dates, the view, then the paperwork, which takes two minutes because you already gave us everything when you booked.
Every guest gets a hand-drawn map with three places on it: where to eat fish at the port, where to watch the sunset, and where to buy the bread we serve at breakfast.
