RIADS AND KASBAHS
The rich diversity of Morocco’s cultural and scenic treasures is matched in no small measure by the stunning choice of its traditional riads and Kasbahs.
RIADS
Riads have long provided a tranquil respite from the hustle and bustle of colourful medinas and chaotic markets. Traditionally the refuge of Morocco’s more affl uent citizens, riads are architectural gems set around an inner garden or courtyard and hidden from the outside world by high walls. Often centrally located, many have been restored to their former glory.
KASBAHS Traditionally a place of refuge and shelter, kasbahs are often found amongst the mountainous landscapes of the High Atlas and the more isolated desert regions to the south. Originally made from local materials, mud and straw, these days they have been embellished with modern conveniences to offer guests a range of styles and comforts; from the authentic to the extravagant.
SPAS AND HAMMAMS Spas have been defi ned as ‘places devoted to enhancing overall well-being’ and Hammams are a distinct part of Moroccan culture. Similar to Turkish baths, these traditional steam rooms have long been a place for the Moroccans to meet and gossip and many Moroccan hotels offer their guests the delights of a traditional Hammam.
