A riad is a traditional Moroccan house derived from the Arabic word ‘ryad’ (garden.) Inspired by the Islamic architecture of the Middle East, it is generally built around a central, leafy courtyard that dates back to ancient Iranian civilisation. These exceptional properties, often nestled in the old city (the Médina), combine authenticity, relaxation and modern comfort.
