Tour Overview

Highlights

On MFCH Tours we enjoy fabulous meals, but we also believe in giving you food for your soul. Be this a simple conversation, meeting an artist or artisan creator; sharing the joy of a fabulous landscape or getting an insight into the lives of people we meet.

We aim to show you some of the best Moroccan design be it in century old architecture, or leading designers of today’s Moroccan design scene.

Highlights

Tour Overview

Staying at the Riad Tarabel is a careful choice for this first tour. In the heart of the Medina, we will make the most of the vibrant city, and yet enjoy the comfort of a beautifully appointed luxury hotel.

We get you off the beaten track and find the true artisan ateliers outside of the city.

”You won’t find this level of attention to detail anywhere else. Every moment was carefully crafted, and all I had to do was enjoy the beauty of France.”

Accommodation

An Elegant Riad: Tarabel

Tucked away in the heart of the medina, in the beautiful Dar El Bacha district, Riad Tarabel is a rare gem where Moorish architecture meets Napoléon III elegance. With its sunlit patios, sweeping terraces, and open-air salons, this riad invites you to slow down and savour every moment.

A true haven of luxury and discretion, each room is styled with antique furniture, Emmanuelle chairs, vintage mirrors, and curated art; creating an atmosphere that feels both timeless and deeply personal. A stay here is like stepping into a quieter, more refined world.
