5 Stars. If you want a traditional Moroccan experience, there is no better place than Riad ZamZam. It’s the honest truth. Yes, you can find a riad much closer to the medina, and stay where all the tourists are, and get woken up every hour due to the noise from the souks and al-fna, but staying at ZamZam allows you to live with the locals and see how people actually live. We were able to see amazing things like how a community oven heats up bread for an entire village, what people sell outside of the famous souks, and see the true kindness of the locals as you’re walking down one of the alleys. My wife and her family (total of 7 people) stayed at ZamZam for 5 nights during Christmas break, and it was a wonderful experience. We are all foodies, so to say that the best food we’ve ever had in our life was at ZamZam is not an understatement. Surprisingly, after you read online, you’ll find great places to go and eat such as Nomad, La Moumania etc, but the dishes are very average to subpar. We were not feeling the food at all, so we decided to just eat breakfast and dinner at the riad, and these homecooked meals are something I will never forget. We ate how true Moroccans ate. If you stay at this riad, you will make a huge mistake if you do not eat at the riad every day! Trust me! The best chicken and lamb dishes I have ever had, not to mention the tasty vegetable appetizers. All those restaurants that you read online, are only good for taking pictures, not eating food. The location may seem a little edgy as you’re walking towards the riad, but after a day, you get used to it. The most that will happen to you is just getting stared at, but these people are all very friendly. Marcus, the owner, we had the pleasure meeting him on multiple occasions, great guy. My only recommendation is to make sure if you have any excursions planned, tell the company to call the riad so they can coordinate because a shuttle or taxi cannot come directly to the riad, usually they have to drop/pick you up 5 minutes away. 20 min walk to souks, 25 to fna…
