Welcome To Our Riad

Welcome to our Riad, located on the foundations of the ancient Zaouia Abbassia Palace in the heart of Marrakesh’s old Medina. The name Abbassia, derived from the medieval name “ABBAS,” meaning “lion” symbolising courage and strength, and “Abbassia,” meaning “one who treats and comforts,” reflects the Riad’s welcoming atmosphere. It’s a haven for adventurous individuals and freedom seekers looking for a unique experience.

The Terrace

As the sun sets, unwind on our rooftop terrace, overlooking the city’s medina. Relax on the sunbeds surrounded by cacti, palm trees, and lemon trees, or take a seat on a comfortable cornerbench adorned with vibrant, colourful cushions. For a more luxurious experience, lie on our four-poster terrace bed.

The Pool & Courtyard

Immerse yourself in the traditional Moroccan craftsmanship as you step into our shared courtyard. Crafted entirely from small ‘zellige’ tiles, the pool offers a refreshing respite from the heat of Marrakesh.

Testimonials

“Our stay at the riad was absolutely magical. The courtyard with its orange trees and gentle fountain felt like a secret oasis in the middle of the Medina. The hosts went above and beyond to help us find the best local spots — we can’t wait to come back!”

“Everything was perfect — from the mint tea on arrival to the beautifully decorated rooms with traditional Moroccan tiles. The rooftop terrace was my favourite place to relax in the evenings, watching the sunset over the city rooftops.”
