Riad de l'Orientale

A home from home in Marrakech

The Riad de l’Orientale is a small, family-owned riad, situated in the heart of the Medina in Marrakech. The riad, a two hundred and fifty year old Moroccan courtyard house, has been traditionally restored and has uniquely attractive rooms, all with en suite facilities.

Whether your stay is just overnight or for a week or longer, we hope you will feel that you have found a new home in Marrakech to which you will want to return.

Food

Our authentic Moroccan breakfasts are included in the cost of your stay. In addition lunch and dinner can be provided on request. Zakariah will serve your dinner by candle-light in the courtyard, or in winter, beside a cedar log fire in the Salon. Many of our guests like to take advantage of a home made picnic; ideal for a day trip into The High Atlas Mountains or a family day at the beach in Essaouira. Our food is all home cooked, with a great emphasis on quality local ingredients which are all freshly bought daily.

For a special occasion a traditional Moroccan soiree can be arranged, with live traditional Gnoua musicians and belly dancers.
