The Riad: A Witness of Time
The building itself is a treasure. This beautifully restored 17th-century riad has seen generations of lives pass through it. With its elegant arches, colorful zelliges, and carved wooden ceilings, the riad reflects the architectural mastery of Marrakech. When you step through its doors, you’re not just entering a museum; you’re stepping into history.
The central patio, once a gathering place, remains a peaceful sanctuary where the air carries stories of the past. The rooftop terrace offers breathtaking views of the Marrakech medina, a timeless contrast between old and new, where you can stop for a moment and contemplate the richness of Morocco’s heritage.
