Dar Shâan
A pet-friendly courtyard riad near the Kasbah des Oudayas
About this stay
Dar Shaan sits among the derbs closest to the Kasbah des Oudayas, a short walk from the ramparts overlooking the Bou Regreg estuary. The pet-friendly policy sets it apart from most medina riads on this list, useful for travelers who want to bring an animal into the old city rather than boarding it elsewhere. The courtyard pool gives both guests and pets a shaded break between walks through the medina's derbs, and a restaurant covers meals on site. Free breakfast, air conditioning and airport shuttle service round out a stay built around the medina rather than resort amenities.

Our take
Dar Shâan is a three-star riad in Rabat's medina near the Kasbah des Oudayas, with a courtyard pool, free breakfast, a restaurant, air-conditioning and an airport shuttle, and pets are welcome. A guest score of 9.2 from 260 reviews is excellent. I would book it for travelers who want the old town on foot and a pool to come back to. Those with heavy luggage should note the walk from parking outside the walls.
- Confirm pet size or breed limits directly with the riad before booking, since medina properties can have narrower rules than larger hotels.
- Call ahead so a host can meet you and your pet near the Kasbah des Oudayas, since no car reaches this riad's courtyard door.
- Walk pets through the medina during quieter early morning hours before the souks fill with crowds and carts.
Why we love it
- Pet-friendly rooms inside the medina walls
- Courtyard pool for guests and pets alike
- Steps from the Kasbah des Oudayas
- Restaurant for evenings without a walk
Why guests love itI would book Dar Shâan for families who want a riad inside Rabat's medina near the Kasbah des Oudayas, and it suits those travelling with a pet too. A courtyard pool gives children a swim after walks in the old town, rooms are air-conditioned and breakfast is free. The restaurant covers dinner and an airport shuttle helps on arrival. The riad is reached on foot from the nearest parking outside the walls, so light luggage helps. A guest score of 9.2 from 260 reviews is excellent.
