Stay in a Palace – Fes Riads in Morocco
Historically, a riad was a traditional Moroccan home and palaces of the affluent, designed around a central courtyard with a fountain or garden. The word riad comes from the Arabic ryad, meaning “garden.” Behind plain medina walls, families lived surrounded by carved cedar wood, colourful zelij tilework, and intricate plaster — a design meant to create privacy and tranquility in the middle of the bustling city.
Today, many riads in Fes have been beautifully restored and opened as boutique guesthouses. Staying in one means waking up to birdsong in the courtyard, sipping mint tea on a rooftop with medina views especially lovely at sunset, and experiencing Moroccan hospitality in the most authentic way.
Why stay in a riad?
Because it’s not just accommodation — it’s history, artistry, and culture all wrapped into one. A place where you don’t just visit Fes, you live it. 💙
