Marrakech
Once the focal point of a great empire, Marrakech stands at the crossroads between the swirling sands of the Sahara and the snow-capped slopes of the Atlas Mountains. Encircled by ochre-coloured walls, Marrakech is one of Morocco's four Imperial Cities. Its very name conjures up images of noisy bazaars and monumental palaces - and not without reason. Take a stroll through its bustling streets and you're bound to hear the hypnotic song of snake charmers' flutes or the melodic wail of muezzins calling people to prayer. Luring travellers from across the world, Marrakech is a magical city that will intoxicate your senses with its mix of cultural treasures, exotic flavours and local colour.
Riad Amssafah
Foundouk el Melha 1 Marrakech Morocco
The district of Amssafah for more than 300 years was under the dynasty of Saàdienne. Close to the Riad there are many historic buildings and cultural sites such as the Chrob Fountain, Médresa Ben Youssef, Qobba, the museum of Marrakech, and within ten minutes walk from the Riad there is the fabulous complex Soukier Semmarine and the world famous Jamaà el fna square. The Riad Amsaffah is very popular due to its budget friendly pricing and is one of the older and more traditional properties in the area.
Riads are the total Morrocan experience and always situated within the walled medina with its souks and markets. The streets are winding and cobbled therefore the transfer vehicles will get as close as possible and some walking may be necessary. Riads are small properties and family run, the staff are there to offer assistance and advice along with our free resort representatives. The bonus of Riads is the ability to request specific Morrocan meals (in advance) which will be home cooked to order and taken either in a traditional salon or possibly on the rooftop terraces. Riads are peaceful havens and very contrasting to the hustle and bustle of the Medina areas and are suited to couples, single travellers and families with older children, they may contain steps or narrow stairwells and the medina pathways are normally uneven and may not suit customers with walking difficulties or mobility problems. It must be noted that Riads are not hotels – they are private residences and more intimate and traditional in their concept than a chain hotel. The Riad Amsaffah is a well maintained yet older property and suitable for customers looking for a great base from which to explore the medina at pocket friendly prices. If guests want to glimpse a taste of Morroco then these properties are a must!
