Traditional Riad

What do you mean "Traditional Riad"? I thought all riads were traditional homes.

While it is true that the vast majority of the riads, dars, villas and kasbahs of Morocco have very old roots, in recent years, for various reasons, the majority of  riads have been significanlty renovated, redesigned and restyled. Some have been redesigned in a modern decor, others very traditionally and others in a combination of both the modern and traditonal style. 

The riads in this list have self-described themselves as having both architecture and decor of traditonal Moroccan style. In these riads you might see the famous zellij tile, ceilings carved with intricate designs, Moroccan style rugs and metal lanterns. 

Quality Information on These Tradional Homes

Our goal is to list every riad in Morocco with pictures, contact information, amenities, prices and customer reviews to allow you to find all the information you need for planning your stay in the riad on one site. We are an information sight, not tour operators, therefore our ambition is not to get you to book a trip, but to give you the unbiased information you need to plan your trip.
