Riad Maizie Marrakech

Welcome to Riad Maizie in the heart of the Marrakech Medina

Riad Maizie is a lovingly restored Riad in the heart of the Marrakech Medina - It is 5 minutes walk from the souks and 10 minutes walk from Djemaa el Fna

If you are taking a trip to Marrakech, Riad Maizie is a tranquil spot for you to stay whilst exploring the hustle, bustle and beauty of Marrakech.

Welcome to a little piece of paradise. Riad Maizie is a Riad in the very oldest part of this fortified city, begun by Abu-Bakr Ibn-Umar in May 1070. The local mosque is the original one, around which everything else followed. Morocco was once ‘The Kingdom of Marrakech’, and the Medina of Marrakech, ‘The Red City’, is now a UNESCO heritage site. It is also the largest market in Morocco. The thing is, Marrakech is a secret city whose interesting mysteries and contradictions take place behind windowless exterior walls and heavy doors. A plain unprepossessing entrance may conceal a palace within.

Things to Do

We can arrange trips to the Ourika Valley, Essouira, and local markets. The more adventurous can take a day or two and go to the desert, or skiing in winter.

There are quite a few museums, as every guide book can tell you, you can swim in close by hotel for the price of a salad, or you can take a caleche and visit Yves St Laurent’s magical garden.

For the discerning, Marrakech has the best and most diverting shopping, but you do have to sift the gems from the dross. For those of you with an interest in Moroccan cuisine we can arrange cookery lessons with the girls.

People who want nothing more than to veg out can hire a masseuse to ease away workaday cares and stress. For serious workaholices there is a wifi connection in the riad and you are welcome to use the laptop to email or Skype.
