Riad Kniza, Traditional Moroccan riad and guest house in Marrakech, Morocco.
Riad Kniza is a guest house in a traditional Moroccan house in Marrakech, with rooms furnished with authentic Moroccan antiques arranged around three courtyards. The spaces display handcrafted details and traditional design elements that highlight local artisan work throughout.
The building dates from the 18th century and sits in Marrakech's ancient medina, where it was restored using traditional materials and craftsmanship methods. The restoration preserved the original Moroccan architecture of the house.
The place reflects Moroccan traditions through handcrafted details and the way the space is used, with local artisan work visible everywhere. Visitors experience this living culture daily in the courtyards and rooms.

The owner is one of the city's renowned antique dealers and willingly shares knowledge about local history and Morocco with guests. This personal connection to the objects and rooms creates a special perspective on the house and its stories.
