The riads of Marrakech are old Moroccan houses turned into places to stay. Built around a central courtyard, these traditional buildings hide behind quiet doors in the streets of the medina. They often have a pool, a fountain, or a inner garden, and a roof terrace that offers views of the city and sometimes the Atlas Mountains in the distance. These places blend local architecture with modern comfort. Some date back to the 18th or 19th century and keep their original decoration with colorful tiles, carved wood, and painted ceilings. Others add modern touches like stylish lounges or wellness areas with a hammam. Most are just a few minutes walk from Djemaa El Fna square and the old city markets.
