Location & Transport
Riad Shaden is in Bab Aylen, east of the medina. It is 1 km from Maison de la Photographie and Dar Bellarj, 1.5 km from Musee de Marrakech and Palacio da Bahia, and 2.5 km from Jardin Majorelle. The riad is in a traditional quarter, away from downtown chaos.
Services & Features
The staff, including Said or Mohamed, assist with shopping at the local market. High-touch surfaces like door handles and light switches are cleaned regularly throughout the day. The central courtyard has fruit trees, a fountain, and sitting areas. The property offers a quiet environment with bird sounds and water streams.
“Riad Shaden strikes me as an oasis of calm, tucked within the Medina's energetic maze. Its location in Bab Aylen, a quieter residential quarter, hints at a more authentic Marrakesh experience. I appreciate the focus on Moroccan culture and cuisine, rounded out with that spacious rooftop terrace-perfect for unwinding after exploring the nearby souks.”
