The Ryad Dyor boutique hotel is located in the authentic and traditional Sidi Ben Sliman district, in the northern part of the Medina of Marrakech. This privileged location, 5 minutes from the souks and very close to the famous Jemaa el-Fna square, allows you to experience the exciting daily hustle and bustle of Marrakech.
Discover below some of the city's must-see tourist attractions during your holiday at the riad.
In the heart of the city, the Jemaa el-Fna square comes alive with musicians, storytellers and ephemeral markets offering everything from exquisite spices to local crafts. This place transforms as the sun goes down, putting on a culinary show under the stars that invites you to savour the local flavours in a lively atmosphere.
The Medina, with its sturdy walls guarding centuries of history, is a labyrinth of narrow streets where every turn reveals ancient secrets and hidden treasures. Here, the riads, with their inner courtyards, offer a refuge from the hustle and bustle outside, while the souks are the perfect setting for bargaining for everything from traditional jewellery to textiles.
This botanical garden donated to the city by Yves Saint Laurent is not only a tribute to Moroccan flora, but also a place of artistic inspiration and peace. It is home to plant species from all five continents and is one of the most visited places in Morocco.
A spectacle of Islamic architecture and design, the Bahia Palace tells the stories of the opulence and power of former sultans through its halls adorned with Arabic inscriptions, geometric figures and arabesques, and courtyards embellished with mosaics.
Near the palace, the Sa'didi Tombs offer a glimpse of the majesty and funerary art of the Sa'did dynasty, with delicately decorated mausoleums highlighting respect and veneration for ancestors.
Dominating the skyline of Marrakech, the Koutoubia Mosque stands as a beacon of spirituality and architecture. With its impressive minaret reaching towards the heavens, the mosque not only guides the faithful to their prayers, but also seduces visitors with its historical majesty. Built in the 12th century, this architectural gem reflects Islamic skill and artistry, serving as an inspiration for similar structures throughout the world. Although reserved for Muslims, its imposing presence and surrounding garden offer all visitors a place to visit.
