What is a Riad?

A Riad is a big, traditional Moroccan house built around a central courtyard or interior garden. Designed to protect against the hot Moroccan weather and provide privacy for those who live there, the traditional Moroccan Riad has become an extremely popular accommodation option for visitors to the country. 

At Azrac Surf we offer our guests the experience of staying in a traditional Moroccan Riad. Situated just over the road from our guesthouse in Tamraght, our Riad has the traditional internal courtyard where you can eat breakfast, a beautiful roof terrace and authentic Moroccan bedrooms.

Traditionally either two or three stories tall, the Riad first became popular within the wealthier Moroccan communities and have since become a firm part of the authentic Moroccan experience. ​​

You can find more photos of our Riad on our accommodation page and if you're anything like us and absolutely love it, why not book your holiday at Azrac Surf?
