It also has a large outdoor pool, which makes it a favorite among travelers.”​ WHERETHESOULSWANDER.COM . The rooms feature local decor (colorful textiles and carved wood accents) combined with modern bathrooms. Many rooms open onto a courtyard filled with flowering plants. There is an on-site restaurant where the resident cook serves home-style Moroccan dishes (you can dine poolside or on the terrace). Breakfast is typically included, and guests often compliment the variety including eggs made to order. The highlight is the palm-fringed swimming pool – perfect for cooling off in the afternoon heat. With its combination of location, amenities, and price, Riad Paradise of Silence hits a sweet spot for mid-range travelers. It is open most of the year (summers included, when that pool becomes invaluable!).
