Riad Moullaoud, Marrakech

Riad Moullaoud is a traditional Moroccan dwelling in the heart of the medina, the old walled medieval centre of Marrakech. This charming guesthouse is only a short walk away from the famous Djemma El Fna Square in the centre of Marrakech with its market stalls and souks, street entertainers, food stalls and an exotic atmosphere that will make you feel a million miles from home.

There are 16 rooms built around a central courtyard, decorated in traditional style with mosaics and colourful Arabian lanterns. The rooftop terrace is a great place to enjoy a meal or simply relax under the stars.

We like: The authenticity of the guest house and the central location.

Best for: Those who want to immerse themselves in Marrakech in a traditional dwelling.
