A SWIRL OF LIFE AND NOISE
Less like visiting as a holidaymaker, more like living as a local in a traditional riad tucked away in the heart of the buzzing Medina of historic Marrakech.
The life and clamour of Marrakech swirls around you. You pause for a moment to survey the scene; a water seller wanders past you, clad in traditional costume. Carpet sellers and apothecaries beckon to you. White robed locals haggle with stall-holders whilst a crowd gathers on the corner to listen to a master storyteller – his rapid, reedy voice rising above the general hubbub. You are in the Medina, just off the fabled Djemaa el Fna in central Marrakech. Better still, your riad is just a few steps away, in a cool courtyard hidden behind traditional, carved wooden gates.
Choose Angsana Riads Collection for your luxury, tailor-made holiday to Morocco and you’ll have a choice of sophisticated yet traditional riads, sympathetically restored, with rooftop sunbaths, period features and dedicated service.
