About Riad Al idrisi


RIAD AL IDRISI lies at the heart of the old Medina, within the fortified walls of old Marrakech. Dating back to the 19th Century, it has been newly renovated and is now a comfortable and relaxing Riad (a traditional Moroccan home centred around an open garden courtyard). It is your peaceful and tranquil home in one of the most exciting and bustling cities of North Africa. There are three en-suite bedrooms on the first floor of the Riad: The Park and Polo Suites are both double rooms, and the Battuta Suite is a twin room, making it an ideal place for families and friends during their stay in Marrakech. On the ground floor there are two salons centred around a traditional terracotta courtyard with further seating around a central organge tree. On the rooftop terrace there is plenty of space for relax, for example, with a long chilled summer drink, under the year-round blue skies and sun. Riad Al Idrisi is managed in Marrakech by Ouafa (see photos) , who will be on hand to help you enjoy your stay and to deal with any questions/problems that you may encounter. The Bab Doukala district of Marrakech (where Riad Al Idrisi is located) is an area that is fast becoming one of the most sought after within the Medina. A 5-minute walk brings you to a handful of the best restaurants in Marrakech including Le Pavillon, Dar Moha, La Maison Arabe and Tobsil (click on "Local" above for further details). The souks and markets start almost immediately and continue all the way to the legendary main square of Djemma El Fna. Rue Mouassine with its irresistable shops, cafés, market stalls and workshops turns a ten-minute walk into town into an hour long experience not to be missed. The area immediately surrounding Riad Al Isidris is entirely pedestrian providing a welcome oasis of tranquility away from the exhilirating hustle and bustle of Marrakech's vibrant city life. For those that wish to go further afield, Essaouira is one of the most magical destinations for the day. Situated ninety minutes drive away on the West coast, it still retains all of its distinctive charm and has the best freshly caught and grilled fish in Morocco. Or perhaps a short drive to the stunning Atlas Mountains that dominate Marrakech's skyline is more what you are after, spending the day trekking the foothills of Mount Toubkal, North Africa's highest mountain. However you plan to spend your holiday, Marrakech is an unforgettable experience. Why not let Riad Al Idrisi help you to make the most of your time here?
