Tasteful Marrakech Riad with elegant design
The recently opened Riad Ariha may be a century old and renovated using authentic building materials, but there’s nothing old fashioned about it. In fact, its simple lines and restrained decoration give it a rather Zen like quality, and certainly the Ariha is a perfect setting to relax in old Marrakech. Though located in the Medina, it is actually some 15 minutes by foot from the main square of Jemma el Fna, though in many ways this is actually a blessing. For one, it makes it less prone to throngs of tourists and therefore the feel is very authentic. Everything is clearly defined here and, as is fundamental in Morocco, spotlessly clean. On entering, we come up against an inner courtyard with a small pool in the middle decorated in rose petals. It’s a marvellously refreshing sight, especially after coming back from a hard days’ work seeing the sights. The rooms are pretty relaxing too! All five are large and beautifully decorated with fine sheets and blankets, plus their own bathroom and shower. Everything combines with the modernity of minimalism and the beauty of Moroccan craftsmanship, where little details such as the use of stucco abound. Clean lines, a sensation of spaciousness and light and fine terrace which is great for taking breakfast or reading a book further make for a peaceful stay at the Riad Ariha. |

Directions for Riad Ariha in Marrakech
As the riad is situated in the medina (old city), it is easier to find your way by simply
asking for the general area in which the riad is situated—Sidi bin Slimane, which is
between Riad Larouss and Bab Taghzout. Ask for the parking at Bab Taghzout and the
masjid Nasser (the mosque) at Sidi bin Slimane, which is essentially the same place.
Follow the signs for our riad, Riad Ariha, or for La Maison Nomade, which is in the same
street as us.
A taxi would then drop you off at an open space with stores and a mosque on the righthand
side, and a school on the left-hand side. This open space narrows into a road. With
the mosque on your right take this road and walk straight ahead. It opens out into another
square—there are orange walls in front of you and a mosque with wall fountain to your
left. (You will also see signs on the wall for Riad Amina, Bab Janna and La Maison
Nomade). Take the right-hand lane where the stores are. If you look up, you will see an
arch with an open window and green mosaic tiles. At the end of this street, turn left.
Straight ahead of you is a mosque with a mosaic-tiled wall, the road zig-zags towards the
right, go under an arch, keep to the right and walk straight ahead. You will go past some
small stores, a téléboutique on your right, then a wall fountain on the left from which
people fetch water. On your right is the restaurant Dar Zellij with a large black door.
Keep going straight and turn right about 50 yards on. Walk a little way, then the road
turns left 90º under a covered archway. Keep going straight until you’re out of the
covered archway and you see another open arch ahead of you with a sign for La Maison
Nomade and a corner house with dark yellow walls. Turn left here which is Derb Ahmed
el Borj. Ours is the first door on the right, number 90.
It should take about 5 minutes by foot.
If ever you are not sure of the way, just ask people for Sidi bin Slimane or Bab Taghzout.
(pronounced: Ta’zut—the ’ being a kind of gurgling with your tonsils). |
