History & Soul of Marrakech

Riads and traditional architecture

The riad shields from noise, sun and outside eyes. Everything converges toward the patio, water and plants.

Historical context

This architecture is shared across the Arab-Andalusian world: Cordoba, Fez, Tunis, Damascus.

Many riads have become guesthouses. Sleeping there is entering the city from within.

Ask to climb to the terrace at sunrise. The medina changes colour in minutes.

Sleep in a traditional house around a courtyard.

A maze of ochre walls, old doors and lanterns.
