Riads
A riad is a traditional Moroccan house or palace that features an interior garden or courtyard. These structures are typically built around a central open space, allowing natural light and ventilation to flow throughout the home. Riads often showcase intricate tile work, carved wood, and beautiful fountains, reflecting the rich cultural heritage of Morocco.
Riads are commonly found in the medinas, or old towns, of cities like Marrakech and Fes. Many have been converted into guesthouses or boutique hotels, offering visitors a unique experience of Moroccan architecture and hospitality. Staying in a riad allows travelers to immerse themselves in the local culture and enjoy a peaceful retreat from the bustling streets.
