Staying at our riad means you have the best of all worlds. The exhilarating pulse of Marrakech is within reach for an evening of exploration, while the serene majesty of the Atlas Mountains surrounds you. The refreshing valleys and captivating nearby cities are all yours to discover by day.
City of Marrakesh
Remember, the most fascinating exhibit is the city itself. Every corner tells a story. The main square, Djemaa el-Fna, transforms from a bustling market by day into a massive open-air theater by night, musicians, snake charmers, and food stalls creating an unforgettable spectacle.
Mountain Valleys
Among the Atlas’s many treasures lies the Ourika Valley (often spelled as Eurika), a lush oasis of greenery just a stone’s throw from the city. Following the course of a river, the valley is dotted with waterfalls, charming riverside restaurants where you can dine with your feet in the water.
Ouarzazate
Journey east through the Tichka Pass to reach the gateway to the Sahara. Known as “Hollywood of Africa,” Ouarzazate is famous for its sprawling film studios and the formidable Taourirt Kasbah. Visite the fortified villages of Ait Ben Haddou, a UNESCO World Heritage site.
Essaouira
Venture west to this ancient fortified port city on the Atlantic coast. With its blue-shuttered houses, fresh seafood grills, and constant ocean breeze, Essaouira offers a completely different, laid-back vibe. It’s a world of Gnawa music and windswept beaches, perfect for a day trip.
