"The core of the riad has little trees and running water, comfy seats for the outside and (like all riads) long, narrow rooms with beautiful tables, coverings and hangings."

"It is a little bit further out but still close enough to walk everywhere, it also meant you got a feel for a more local area of the city which is always a good experience."

“Riad Samsara is an oasis tucked into the Medina, proving an ideal launchpad for Marrakesh adventures. Its meticulous restoration and quiet courtyards offer respite after a day navigating Djemaa El Fna or the Majorelle Gardens. The personalized service and authentic Moroccan breakfasts made a lasting impression.”
