What is a Riad? | Riads in Morocco | Hotels in Morocco | Hotels of CharacterRiads are traditional Moroccan houses located inside old city districts that are several stories high and have an interior patio. Riads are private houses in Morocco that started to be restored in the late 70’s. These abandoned houses were left by rich families a couple of centuries ago while moving to major cities such as Casablanca or Rabat.
Today, most Riads are used as private guest houses offering exceptional service in truly amazing buildings re-decorated and re-built in a traditional way.
Riads are usually a few stores high, having the main ground floor with a patio and a fountain. The upper levels hold the suites all having great view to the lower patio “cloister type”. Riads are not located in the new part of the cities.
The old parts of the cities in Morocco are called Medinas and the newer districts are called “Ville Nouvelles” which were mainly built during the French Rule.
