If you still don't know about Riads; A Riad is a type of traditional Moroccan house or palace with an interior garden or patio. The word riad comes from the term garden. They generally look like a kind of mansion, with a landscaped interior patio, where the rooms and areas of the house open onto this garden. A little oasis at home. The Riads maintain their Moroccan decoration and air in their essence, making you feel in tune with the country.
