Things to do
Marrakech is full of surprises, and then there are the riads, probably the most unexpected of them all. From the outside, they appear quiet and simple, just another old house in the medina, but step through the door, and suddenly you're transported into a kaleidoscope of colours, peaceful courtyards, and rooftop views to die for.
A riad is one of those traditional Moroccan houses that's been lovingly converted into a charming place to stay, each one with its own unique style and personality. Fancy yourself a luxury-lover, a design-snob, or just someone in desperate need of a quiet escape after a day of exploring the medina? Either way, the 9 coolest Marrakech riads are definitely worth checking out.
