Marrakech medina Riad

The medina, the Djemaa El Fna Square and the Riads are the jewels of the red town.The medina of Marrakech is both a timeless and magical place that has been able to combine modernity without losing its culture or historical dress.Around 1070, the fortified town was built by the Almovides dynasty and for centuries, the plans of the town stopped at the ramparts, surrounded by the well known Palmeraie.The town also owes some of its success to the Djemaa El Fna Square, a place that is abound with energy, commercial trading and is full of life. For decades now, the snake charmers, storytellers, acrobats, jugglers, fortune tellers, Gnaoua musicians, henna tattooists and the multitude of fast food stands, have become the mainstay of the Square.Marrakech is a place where culture and art are open to the public all the time, turning it into a giant street theater, earning it the right to be recognised as part of the oral 'patrimony of mankind' by UNESCO. The medina was also listed as a World Heritage site in 1985. Riad Alili in the medina of Marrakech, Riad Al Mamoune or even Riad Croix berbère are good examples.Its ingenuity and immense potential have allowed it to renew itself with the times and remain an attractive resort for everyone.The secret of this infatuation comes from the homes and their amazing architecture.

It is a pure pleasure, blended with artistic magic made for sharing, that make this a choice location for a guaranteed change of scenery and total comfort.
