Riad Serendipity

Riad Serendipity is located on a narrow side street amidst family homes and small businesses that cater to the local families in the Fez Jdid (فاس جديد) neighborhood. The building was originally a family home from (date) built with a central courtyard. It has been carefully restored into a 7 room Riad with a rooftop terrace. The restoration incorporates artisanal architectural elements, and is easily recognizable with its engraved facade.

Fez Jdid is a palace city founded in 1276. It is the second (Jdid, or jadid, means new in Arabic) of the three parts of Fez. The Medina, called the old city, was built in the 900s, Fez Jdid some 400 years later, and Ville Nouvelle (New City | Town) was created by the French in the 20th century. Fez Jdid includes the King's Palace and the historic Mellah (Jewish Quarter). Riad Serendipity is in the southwestern corner of the quarter. The garden Jnan Sbil (The way of Paradise) is an 8 minute stroll and the Blue Gate to the Medina is 15 minutes.

Our location on a narrow street in a residential neighbourhood (no cars) means that no taxis or shuttle vans will deliver you directly to our door.

We can arrange shuttle service for you from the Fes airport, train or bus station. The drivers will greet you personally and drive you to Bab Semmarine (باب سمارين), the offical entrance of Fez Jdid. The driver will call and you will be greeted by us and escorted directly to our door. We are actually located in an easy-to-find location but it may not seem so for a first-time visitor.

However you arrive, we want to make your stay comfortable and memorable. Please reach out to us for assistance with the last half mile / 600m of your travel.
