It's a labyrinth of shops in the bazaar, the fragrance of meat roasted in the open, the melody of flutes and the beat of drums, and the mystery of veiled faces and whispered conversations. But the medina is also a sanctuary of peace and good taste behind closed doors. There are also elegance and fine service and gentility in formidable family homes, in royal palaces, and in riads, where the grace and splendor of the Orient, traditional Arab hospitality, the fine appointments of a mansion and the amenities of a boutique hotel all come together.

Now, we can arrange to have the Riad Dar Nadir, ( or other Riads) in the heart of Marrakech, at your entire disposal. The courtyard, the rooftop terrace, and the intimate pool will be yours. The gracious staff will see to the every need of the members of your party, and to those of nobody else.

Start each day with breakfast, brought to your room by a staff member, or served in the dining room, as you wish. Visit the Koutoubia Mosque and the Bahia Palace. Linger at the cafés and shops of the new city. Take an excursion into the mountains or down to the sea.

One of the highlights of your visit will be an invitation from your hosts to take an excursion by horse-drawn carriage.
You'll cross the Menara palm groves and proceed to an exquisite pavilion reflected in the still waters of a lake, then continue to Yves St. Laurent's Majorelle botanical gardens, replete with enchanting trees, flowers and shrubs, both domestic and exotic. Then you'll finish with a ride along the wide thoroughfares of Gueliz, the modern quarter with its outdoor cafés, fashionably attired men and women, and the ambiance of Paris or Barcelona.

 

 

 

 

 

Return after each day's adventure to share your impressions and experiences with family and friends over a glass of traditional mint tea. Relax and unwind in the riad's very own hamam ( not available in all the Riads), , the traditional steam bath, or soak in the pool.

We also offer additional excursions, which may include:

THE OURIKA VALLEY

In the morning, we'll head 30 kilometers outside of Marrakech to the lush valley of the Ourika River, which winds down from the peaks of the High Atlas, through clusters of mud-walled houses. Our visit coincides with one of the regular market days. We'll walk among the stands of butchers and vegetable-sellers, merchants of cereals and olive oil, itinerant blacksmiths and sellers of patent medicines and herbal remedies. A barber sets up shop with nothing more than a scissors, hand clipper, and stiff wooden chair, an open-air eatery offers hot food freshly prepared on a brazier. We'll continue to Tafza to see how vases and lamp bases and tables are made in home workshops in both traditional and modern styles, then view and perhaps purchase quartz and amethyst and other minerals of the region. Our lunch stop will be at a country restaurant situated on the valley slopes, offering French and Moroccan specialties, as well as commanding views of the settlements and fields below. This visit operates on Mondays and Fridays, with transportation in an air-conditioned minibus, at a price of $70 per person, including lunch.

 

ESSAOUIRA AND THE SEASIDE

Come down to the sea with us, to experience a different Morocco, steeped in influences from near and far. We'll drive 170 kilometers to Essaouira, with its charming harbor crowded with fishing craft. Essaouira was an imperial outpost in Roman days, when shellfish were harvested to yield a purple dye for togas. In the sixteenth century, it was a Portuguese outpost, and later, a base for corsairs that preyed on coastal shipping. You'll appreciate the sun and breeze of this seaside resort, and its artisans purveying crafts of citrus wood, coffers and tables inlaid with mother of pearl, chess sets, and jewelry wrought of fine silver threads. And of course, you'll lunch on the day's catch in a restaurant facing the harbor. The visit to Essaouira operates most days of the week, with transportation in an air-conditioned minibus, at a price of $70 per person, including lunch.

CAMEL RIDING For the romantic and the adventurous, we offer the quintessential Moroccan experience of a sunset camel ride in the vast palm groves around Marrakech. We'll call for you by air-conditioned minibus, and take you out for your rendezvous with your steeds. Before we set off, we'll have some basic instruction. You'll learn how to get up into the saddle, how to sit securely, how to turn, and, most importantly, how to stop! But don't worry. Even if you're not a good student, you'll be accompanied by handlers experienced at keeping these magnificent beasts in line. After the preliminaries, you're off through the palms, to spot the surprisingly rich wildlife in this dry region, and then, as the day ebbs, to proceed at a stately pace under a ceiling of stars in the silent night. Our camel riding adventure is reserved for the physically fit, at a price of $52 per person

Guests are welcomed by the owner and offered a drink in the patio with its soothing fountain, then escorted to their dining room. Your dinner is served to the accompaniment of lute music, belly dancing, and a duet of traditional Gnaouas performers. Dinner, all drinks, wine and liqueurs are included in the price of $75 per person.

 

YACUT

Music, folklore, tradition, artistry, and fantasy are all on tap from the moment you enter Riad Yacut. A corridor scented with rose and amber and musk leads to a fountain and water garden reflecting flickering flames of lanterns and candles set in sconces. A spiral staircase ascends to a terrace with an incomparable panorama of the entire medina. You'll be looked after by attendants in traditional garb, and entertained by Gnaouas singers and dancers, descendants of slaves brought from Guinea, who play rhythms redolent of the heart of Africa. There will be Arabo-Andalusian airs as well, reflecting Morocco's long association with Spain. We'll escort you to Yacut in an air-conditioned minibus. The price of $90 per person includes dinner, pre-dinner drinks
