If there’s one thing that’s going to sell you on this fairytale riad in Morocco, it might be the fact that there’s a fountain from the Alhambra located right in the center of the courtyard. The entire home manages to make you feel like you’re on a movie set instead of a private property in one of the busiest cities in Morocco, Fez.

The fountain is only the beginning of the long list of extras in this 5,468-square-foot riad. The listing on Christie’s Real Estate breaks down all of the extras: heated floors, a library, stunning mosaic tilework, a swimming pool complete with a scenic lounging area, numerous fireplaces. There are five bedrooms and six full bathrooms, making it the perfect party location. The best part? You’ll just have to stumble upstairs when it’s time to go to bed.

The tilework alone is practically worth the $2,087,565 price tag. Pair that with the abundance of natural light filtering through all of the home’s nooks and crannies and you’ve got a house people will plan trips around visiting.

For more information on the riad, head over to the listing on Christie’s Real Estate.
