My stay at Dar Akal was incredibly peaceful and lovely. The location in the heart of the Medina made it easy to explore the vibrant souks, yet the Riad felt like a serene retreat. While I would have loved a bit more variety in snacks available during my stay, it didn't diminish the overall experience. I can't recommend this place highly enough!
