Riads in Marrakech
 |
 |
 |
||
Luxury Guest Houses - RIADS Incredibly popular, and ever growing in number, riads are a type of refurbished house of various size and quality in the centre of Marrakech's mediaeval medina. These fabulous properties are designed to be cool in the Moroccan heat and inward-looking so will surround a private courtyard or garden which is most often open to the Marrakech sky and are known as riads (or Dars) - scroll down for our personal choice of properties.

Rediscover the World was one of the first UK tour operators, back in the 1990s, to offer riads as part of a different holiday experience; we have continued this with similar properties across the whole of Morocco. At least one of us here at Rediscover has visited each Riad recently so please feel free to discuss your requirements and budget and we will be happy to make recomendations - naturally such properties are likely to be a matter of personal taste and preference but we are confident that there is a riad to suit all tastes. |
NB: Due to the ever-increasing popularity of these properties we urge you to book as early as possible for high season, i.e. March/April/May; Sept/Oct and Christmas/New Year |
