THE EXPANSIVE VIEWS OF THE ATLAS MOUNTAINS
Opened in 2004, and renovated throughout to the highest standards using local craftsmen, the Riad Kniza has just 11 tastefully furnished, well-equipped, airconditioned deluxe rooms and suites, the majority with an open fireplace.
Traditional, home-cooked Moroccan food, served either on the roof terrace which has expansive views of the Atlas Mountains and the Medina or in the two comfortable lounges on the ground floor, is the speciality of the house. Recently a swimming pool and a spa with sauna, massage room and hammam have been added. The level of service is equal to that expected of a 5-star hotel but here, in this family home, it is even more special as it is so personal.

Planning my first solo trip felt like a big step, but The Ultimate Travel Company made it easy from the outset. I reached out over a year in advance, and Rob Kent quickly put together a thoughtful itinerary based on exactly what I was looking for, securing great flights and always being available to talk things through. Everything ran smoothly and I felt looked after every step of the way. The accommodation in Japan, Fiji and Tahiti was excellent and the experiences unforgettable.
