The riad is a form of traditional Moroccan architecture, born in the city, which is why it is normally located in the historic center of the city, called the "Medina". Undoubtedly it deserves to be considered by those interested in traditional culture and architecture.
Initially, all riads were private houses of various sizes with rooms that developed around the courtyard. Nowadays, however, they constitute relatively small hotel establishments.
Since riads are small accommodations, the owners often provide a warm welcome to their guests. Since the structure is small, the owner himself can receive you at the front door. Compared to the hotel, the riad is a place where you can feel at home and receive warm hospitality. Often the staff of the riad is available to provide tourist information with courtesy.
The revaluation of the riad is partly due to the rediscovery intervention by foreigners: the old palaces of historical city have been valued mainly by Europeans, in particular by the French, which is why the riad often has a taste international, consisting of a sort of mixture between Morocco and Europe.
Having been originally built as a stately home, the riad already has in itself a great architectural value, which has been further enriched by the fusion with modern comfort.
Moroccan riads are characterized by being located in cities with a deep history and are of great architectural value. There are numerous riads in cities that are UNESCO World Heritage Sites, such as Marrakech and Fes.
