This had been our first night in a riad, which I defined in the previous post as a small former residence converted to a guest house.

P_24_0086 This is the roof terrace of our riad, where we were served our breakfasts.

P_24_0085 This is the view of the riad's inner courtyard shown from the roof terrace. The rooms' entrances were on this main floor and on a second storey.

After leaving these side alleys, you would be in the busy markets of the medina.
