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.
