Anayela: An oasis in the Marrakesh Medina
If you get the chance to start a story with a full on fairy tell, you take the chance, right?
Once upon a time there was a girl called Yela living in a luxurious Riad in the Marrakesh Medina. As she wasn't allowed to go out by herself, she secretly climbed on the roof of her house every night to look at the stars. That's where she met the neighbour's boy.

THE AREA
The Riad is located in the Medina – the old town – of Marrakech. We loved, that it's a fifteen minute walk away from the market and the souks, which makes it a lot quiter, with fewer tourist and more donkeys walking
