This room is situated at the first floor towards the impasse. This is together with “Sofia” the 2 rooms with the most light. A lot of light in the room is not traditional to Riads but a lot of tourists like bright rooms. The walls are beige and off white tadelakt. The floor is terracotta sticks laid in a pattern with a square frieze around the room and a skirting board in chocolate brown. You reach the bathroom thru the cedar wood saloon doors. This room has the biggest bathroom of the riad. There is a place to sit in the shower. A traditional Moroccan installation where you can sit and soap up the body or scrub the body before you rinse it off. It is called “glissa”. The bathroom is terracotta red tadelakt. The mosaic in the shower is brown and white chess pattern. The first impression off this room is a sober bright and clean room. The smell of cedar wood when you open the dresser is overwhelming. The lamps next to the bed are egg shaped. A traditional Moroccan lamp with lots of holes that make for a nice light in the room during night time. This room has pictures of rabat anno 1920ies and an antique wooden board with coranic inscriptions on. From the old coranic schools of Fez. All the doors to the rooms on the first floor are heavy massive cedar wood with braze knops and décor. The way the door opens and closes in not with a traditional handle and a lock. It looks like something from a castle on the outside and like a stable on the inside. You can hear the birds sinning from the outside most of the day.
