The best starting point to experience the exotic and vibrant atmosphere of the red city is one of the Marrakech riads: Riyad El Cadi.

We recommend a two or three days visit to explore this venerable city with its rose-earth coloured buildings, labyrinth-like souks and the numerous grand monuments and labyrinthine souks (markets) set against the snow-capped Atlas Mountains. Marrakech Riads are the best starting point for you to explore the secrets of bustling Marrakech and Riyad El Cadi even more so: it is just a couple of steps away from the exotic life of the main square.
