Accommodation in Morocco

For accommodation in Morocco you have several options depending on your budget and the type of trip you are going to make.

Upon arrival in Morocco, you have several accommodation options: from luxury hotels, to camps and bivouacs in the countryside, to budget hostels. All in an atmosphere of hospitality, well-being and friendliness, for an ideal opinion in the sunny land.

Morocco is a country of which a large part of its income comes from tourism, so it will not be difficult to find accommodation wherever you go. Here are the different types of accommodation available.

 

Riad

Riad is a Moroccan construction defined by an inner courtyard, around which the rooms and common areas are distributed. However, this denomination responds to two definitions, one historical and the other current.

The same applies to the decoration. Although the style is usually traditional, we can find minimalist, modern, or simple riads. Many of these houses have been renovated to be converted into tourist establishments, adding private bathrooms in the rooms for example, and in these reforms their owners, although they usually maintain the traditional character of the houses, these can have very different styles. Of course, tiles, fabrics, plaster and carved or painted wood are not usually missing.

The city we choose can also define the style and characteristics of a riad. Marrakech for example, due to its high temperatures almost all year round, includes in its establishments small swimming pools (and sometimes not so small), open spaces and vegetation. For the walls they usually make use of stucco. If we go to northern cities, there are more tiles to protect the walls from humidity, the spaces are more closed and do not usually include swimming pools.
