Good to know
Riads are traditional guesthouses within the old walls of Marrakech City. Each one is centred around an inner courtyard or garden, and rooms are often individually decorated and vary in size. If you want to experience Marrakech the traditional way, then a riad stay could be for you.
Please note: Marrakech's historic medina has narrow, often pedestrianised streets, so transfer drivers can't drop off or pick up directly outside many of the riads. They'll get as close as possible – approximately 400 metres from the property – and you'll need to walk the final 5-minute stretch. One of our transfer reps will be there to guide you the rest of the way.
