What Is a Riad?

A riad is a traditional Moroccan house built around an interior courtyard or garden - the name comes from the Arabic for garden. Turned into intimate guesthouses, riads offer carved plaster, zellige tilework, a plunge pool or fountain, and rooftop breakfasts. Staying in one is a Moroccan rite of passage.

How Much Do Riads Cost?

Budget riads: from around 300-600 Dhs a night for a simple room.
Mid-range: 700-1,500 Dhs for a beautiful, well-located riad with character.
Luxury: 2,000 Dhs and well beyond for design riads with pools and full service - still a fraction of comparable luxury in Europe.

Best Cities for Riads

The medinas of Marrakesh and Fes have the finest riads; Essaouira, Rabat and Chefchaouen offer lovely ones too. See where to stay in Marrakesh and Fes.

How to Choose a Riad

Location: within about 10 minutes' walk of the main square keeps night returns easy.
Arrival help: confirm staff will meet you - medina lanes are a maze and cars cannot reach most riads.
Rooftop and pool: check for a terrace and (for summer) a plunge pool.
Reviews: read recent guest reviews for cleanliness, warmth and directions.
