Five minutes from the souks, close to Mosque Ben Youssef, Medersa Ben Youssef, Museum of Marrakesh, and 15 minutes from Jemaa El Fna square.

“This riad offers a tranquil escape within the Medina's lively heart, a welcome contrast to the bustling streets. I particularly appreciate the personalized service and authentic Moroccan meals, creating a truly immersive experience. The combination of traditional design with intimate spaces, like private terraces and pools, strikes a sophisticated balance, ideal for both couples and families seeking a cultural retreat.”
