Riad Azzar – A Favorite for Families in Marrakesh

Riad Azzar offers six bedrooms with African artworks, air conditioning, and private bathrooms. The Zemmour Suite features a black roll-top bath, while other rooms have walk-in showers with marble and tadelakt finishes. Some rooms include fireplaces, private terraces, and direct access to the roof terrace. Rooms are decorated in warm red, orange, and silver colors, with sitting areas and garden views.

Breakfast includes yogurt, bread, and Moroccan pancakes served on the roof terrace. Cook Fatima prepares traditional Moroccan cuisine like fish or chicken pastilla and tajine poulet au citron using natural Moroccan products. Meals can be served in the dining room beside the fireplace or on the roof terrace with full drinks service. Cookery courses are available at their second property, Riad Siwan.

The property features a central courtyard with an emerald green plunge pool, bamboo, and banana trees. The roof terrace has sun-bathing areas, shady lounge spaces, and serves as an open-air dining venue. The salon displays art collected from Ethiopia, Uganda, Zambia, and Iran in traditional wall niches. Glass doors connect indoor spaces to the courtyard, with a fireplace for cooler months.

Riad Azzar is located in Medina, Marrakech's old walled city, minutes from Djemaa el-Fna. Nearby landmarks include Museum of Mouassine (0.5 km), Dar el Bacha Museum (0.5 km), Jemaa el-Fnaa (1 km), and Jardin Majorelle (2 km). The property offers insight into Moroccan culture and is surrounded by the historic Medina district that once closed its gates at night for safety.

The riad organizes excursions to Lake Takerkoust (7 km lake), Agafay Desert with Berber villages, and visits to Kasbah Telouet or Kasbah Ait Ben Haddou. Guests can ride vintage vehicles through the desert or have lunch at Kasbah du Toubkal mountain retreat. The property hosts special events like birthday parties and photo shoots. Hosts Maryk and Cees offer golf arrangements at nearby courses.
