About Riad Bensaid

Our Story

A Heritage of Hospitality

Riad Bensaid is more than just a place to stay – it's a gateway to authentic Moroccan culture and hospitality. Located in the heart of Marrakech's historic Medina, our traditional riad has been carefully restored to preserve its original architectural beauty while providing modern comforts for today's travelers.

Built in the traditional Moroccan style around a central courtyard, our riad features intricate zellige tilework, carved cedar wood, and peaceful fountains that create an oasis of tranquility amidst the vibrant energy of the Medina.
