English half brothers Laurence and Peter were among the first to open their doors to the public. Originally part of a pasha's palace, the riad was once used as a greeting and entertainment area and still maintains that salon feel. Far East antiques are scattered with loving abandon, while English satellite television provides a taste of home. The two are a wealth of information (artist Peter wrote a dissertation on the Kasbah) and spend most of their time chatting with guests. Home cooking is traditional and very good; lamb tagine is slow-roasted for seven hours in the wood ash of the local hammam. Order in the morning.
