Riad Al Idrisi is a beautiful, traditional Riad in
the heart of Marrakech's fabled medina. 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 courtyard). It
is 12 minutes walk to the famous Djemma El Fna and a few minutes stroll
from the famous Souks and Markets, situated in a quiet, pedestrian-only area.
There are five en-suite bedrooms in the
Riad: The Park and Abruzzi Suites and the Marco Polo, Glenwood and Ibn Battuta
Rooms, making it an ideal place for families and friends during their stay in
Marrakech. On the ground floor there is a shared living room with a
cosy fireplaces for the chilly winter months, and a large collection of books
from all over the world. The rooftop terrace provides a perfect location for
relaxing and soaking up some of the year-round Moroccan sunshine.
The house is perfect as a base for your
holiday in Marrakech and the surrounding area or as a haven of peace and
tranquility in the bustling heart of one of North Africa's most vibrant and
exciting cities.
The Bab Doukkala 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 five-minute walk brings you to a handful of
the best restaurants in Marrakech including Dar Moha, La Maison Arabe and
Tobsil (click on "Where to Eat" 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 irresistible shops, cafés,
market stalls and workshops turns a ten-minute walk into the new town into an
hour-long experience not to be missed.
The
area immediately surrounding Riad Al Idrisi is entirely pedestrian providing a
welcome oasis of tranquility away from the exhilarating hustle and bustle of
Marrakech's vibrant city life. Car access and parking can be found 3 minutes
from the riad.
