The Most Photogenic Riads in Marrakesh!
If you’re planning a trip to Morocco, bloggers agree: staying in Marrakesh for 3-4 nights is a MUST. Most people fly into Marrakesh (it’s where I’d fly into from my small airport in Bend, Oregon). So after a long flight: it makes sense to stay at least a few days in this exotic city. Riads are one of the most popular accommodation types here, with many made famous by bloggers like Gypsea Lust & The Blonde Abroad. So let’s find out: what are the most photogenic riads in Marrakesh, Morocco?

What is a Riad, Anyway?? A riad is a traditional Moroccan homebuilt around a central courtyard ~ often with intricate tilework & lush greenery. The name “riad” comes from the Arabic word for “garden,” reflecting its focus on inward-facing serenity, privacy, and beauty.
