Located in the heart of the Marrakech medina, these historic palaces might not seem like much on the outside, but as soon as you step inside, you'll feel as if you're in an Arabian tale.

The grand atmosphere of a riad provides the perfect setting for an evening out. On arrival, you'll be served a welcome cocktail, which you can sip on as you relax by the courtyard and interior gardens. Then, before you take your seat for a full-on gastro experience, there's the traditional orange blossom hot water handwashing ceremony.

Feast on a variety of tasty local and European dishes – made using souk-sourced spices and produce – washed down with wine. After your dinner and digestif, sit back and watch a belly dancer accompanied by a lute player.
