Riad Arous Chamel, Traditional guesthouse in Tangier, Morocco.
Riad Arous Chamel is a traditional guesthouse in Tangier built around an interior courtyard with rooms featuring handcrafted tilework, carved wooden ceilings, and Arabic-style arches. The rooms display local craftsmanship through their ornamental design and careful construction.
The building sits in Tangier's old medina, a historic quarter shaped over centuries by Phoenicians, Romans, Arabs, Portuguese, and Spanish peoples. This succession of different cultures left a lasting imprint on the architectural and social fabric of the neighborhood.
This place embodies Moroccan hospitality through its traditional architecture and handcrafted details made by local artisans. Being near historic souks allows visitors to observe daily commerce and trading practices that have been maintained for generations in this neighborhood.
This property is within walking distance of Tangier's port, transportation hubs, and major sights in the medina. Visitors should wear comfortable shoes since the streets in the historic quarter are narrow and sometimes steep.
The house offers views of the Atlantic Ocean bay and hosts regular workshops on Moroccan arts and crafts. These classes let guests work directly with local artists and learn traditional techniques.
