Riad Mokhtar, Traditional riad in the medina of Tangier, Morocco.

Riad Mokhtar showcases authentic Andalusian architecture featuring a central courtyard adorned with colorful zellige tiles, hand-carved cedar wood ceilings, and air-conditioned rooms offering panoramic views over Tangier Bay and the historic medina's winding streets.

Built during the Tangier International Zone era by Haj Abdelghani Guessous with collaboration from Fez artisans, this former private palace hosted numerous family celebrations before being transformed into a boutique hotel by its current owners.

The establishment perpetuates Moroccan hospitality traditions by serving refined gastronomic cuisine in its restaurant decorated with local artwork, while organizing musical evenings featuring Gnawa musicians performing traditional songs in the central patio.

The hotel features ten rooms equipped with air conditioning, free wifi, multilingual concierge services available 24/7, secure parking facilities, and offers airport transfers from Ibn Battuta Airport for an additional fee with advance booking required.

The riad boasts a panoramic rooftop terrace offering 360-degree views of the Strait of Gibraltar, Spain, and the Rif Mountains, exclusively accessible to guests for private sunrise breakfasts and evening cocktails under the stars.
