Alex and Yasmin provided a beautiful experience. We stayed in the Rubis suite for five nights. The property itself is stunning and has many unique antiques throughout. The staff is excellent and catered to our every need. Alex arranged a guided tour of the Medina, as well as escorts to help us find restaurants in the evening. My wife enjoyed the cooking class with Fatima. We ate at the Riadh for breakfast and several dinners and all of the food was excellent. they are beautiful views of the Medina from the rooftop terrace and the restaurant especially at sunset. They have a relationship with the luxury hotel Palais Faraj we enjoyed Hamam annd massage experience at that hotel arranged by Yasmin as well.
