Azemmour and the Riad Azama

by admin on January 19, 2010

One of the best off the beaten path destinations in Morocco is the town of Azemmour located along the Atlantic coast just north of El Jedida. It is a small town with few tourists that feels like the real Morocco. There is an exceptional riad here in which to make your base while visiting this overlooked yet charming town.
The Portuguese built the town tow miles inland along the Oum er Rbia river as a fortified trading post in 1513. Except for two riads there are no tourists restaurants or facilities. One of the riads, however, is reason enough to stay in Azemmour. The Riad Azama is an 18th century traditional home handsomely restored with 6 rooms located around a lovely court yard. This is one of the most beautiful Riads we have seen in Morocco.
