Marrakech some call it the red city, others the pearl of the south, several names for a city that promises visitors unparalleled sensations, combined between tradition and modernity. The souks and the Jemaa El-Fna square, with its sparkling colors and exotic aromas, offer a total change of scenery as you walk through the city of a thousand and one nights.
By visiting one of the many riads in the medina, miniature oriental palaces with beautiful art, you will be able to appreciate the architectural richness of the region.

Traveling to Marrakech is similar to experiencing an environment fit for a thousand and one nights stories, especially when staying in a Riad. This unique style house stands out from other Moroccan buildings, an art hidden behind those big walls. It is the ideal accommodation option for people who like isolation and coolness during the sunny days of Marrakech.
Marrakech riads, in the Arab tradition, are enclosed gardens. A house that is built around an outdoor patio where one can enjoy the sun. A pond or a fountain could be used to embellish it. A lot of vegetation is typically present to add freshness and greenery. Pavilions, alcoves or arcades are used to decorate these attractive gardens of exact geometry. The phrase identified by extension to indicate any building with a garden inside the medina in Marrakech, where houses are mainly built around patios planted on the same model. The most discreet interventions are made to support this work of art and deliver the essential components of contemporary and modern comfort.
A Riad in Marrakech is a representation of all the skills of Moroccan craftsmen. The fountains, the carved wooden ceilings, the zelliges that decorate the floor, the walls or the tables, as well as the Tadelakt that covers the walls. All of these features honor the painstaking work of many artisans and transform beautiful homes into fairy tale palaces.
