We've just returned from a 4 night stay at Riad El Zohar and cannot recommend it enough! From the moment we booked, Allan was in touch to arrange a taxi from the airport, info regarding documents for entering the country, best bureau de change and most importantly arranging a beautiful 4 course dinner for us in the Riad (a must!).
Sadly Allan was not at the hotel whilst we were staying but the team did not let him down. Readi greeted us on arrival with mint tea and water and gave us a tour of the surrounding areas, where to go, not to, good restaurants and places to see. I think we managed all of his top 5 suggestions over the weekend. What was even better, he checked in with the tour operator that we had booked quad biking in the desert with to make sure all was ok and where to meet them. We had his number in case anything went wrong which reassured us. We then fancied a day in the mountains so arranged a day trip for us with a guide to take us up to see the waterfalls (my highlight of the trip, was much cooler than in the city).
The Riad itself is stunning. A great plunge pool, which was needed when daily temperatures were 45degrees. The roof top is stunning and we enjoyed breakfast up there. There aren't too many places where you can drink in the old town so we enjoyed a couple of beers on the terrace at the end of the night. (one night they ran out but the team dashed to the nearest shop for us so we could enjoy a cold pint).
10/10 don't delay! Thank you team :)
