Riad Mokhtar, Traditional riad in the medina of Tangier, Morocco.
Riad Mokhtar is a traditional guest house in Tangier's medina that displays authentic Andalusian architecture with a central courtyard decorated with colorful zellige tiles and hand-carved cedar wood ceilings. The ten air-conditioned rooms offer views over Tangier Bay and the historic city streets.
