Riad Oumhani

Twenty-eight guest reviews aside, Riad Oumhani sits deep in Souk Laksour on Derb Jdid Elkabir, a narrow lane in Marrakech's Medina where the family-run house keeps its original tadelakt walls and citrus courtyard intact. Jemaa el-Fna lies roughly ten minutes on foot, close enough for evening visits but far enough to skip the noise.

Rooms are individually decorated with Moroccan textiles and open onto the shaded patio rather than a corridor. A rooftop terrace serves breakfast and doubles as a quiet retreat come afternoon.

The riad suits couples and small groups wanting a traditional Medina stay within walking distance of the souks.
