New Moroccan Caftans unveiled in Fez



Space to relax at Riad Alkantara

With the completion of work at the stunning Riad Alkantara, Camille Lorenzetti and Abdelfettah Seffar invited a select group of friends join them to celebrate the upcoming opening in September.

Camille promised surprises, and there certainly were - a display of Moroccan Caftans designed by Ghizlane and Sofia of G & S Haute Couture Traditionelle.

The garments were sumptuous, of fabulously rich fabrics embroidered and embellished and modelled by three young Moroccan women. Much to the amazement and delight of the crowd, a young man in traditional dress arrived on a hennaed and caparisoned stallion.


There was a chance to take a look at the beautiful gardens and swimming pool at the riad, as well as plenty of delicious food.

The construction work has been carried out with superb attention to the smallest detail and the result is an establishment that should set a benchmark for top of the market accommodation. It is pure luxury - but with refined taste.


Musicians, including the renowned Anass Habib, entertained the A-list crowd. The View from Fez wishes Camille and Abdelfettah all the best with their wonderful new venture and we're looking forward to being invited for a dip in the pool!

Ha! Lumen made me laugh!

I think "anonymous" does not get your superb use of irony.

Well done blogsters!
