Oh oh, it’s definitely time to flee winter and get over to Morocco and just enjoy your Morocco holidays. Let’s face it; times have been hard lately. When the snow first arrived, it was a charming novelty, but now it is just cold, dirty, and inconvenient. Not surprisingly, along with the snow came a sudden rise in bookings for holidays in Morocco. Face it; who doesn’t want to get out of the United Kingdom after being stuck with all that snow?
The highlight of your Morocco holidays will likely be one of the Marrakech riads you opt to stay in. Think bright sunshine, think warmth, luxury, sand, mouthwatering odors wafting in on the afternoon breeze and the lively chatter of the local marketplace. Rejoice, as it’s a complete holiday, and you’re delighted to get away from everything.

While you may not have long to spend in Marrakech, you will want to experience Marrakech riads, largely because they offer you the privacy of being inwardly focused and protection from any rotten weather. Riad is the Arabian term for garden, and gardens are the focal point of traditional Moroccan dwellings. The traditional Moroccan home has an inward focus which spotlights the interior of the home, the gardens and the courtyard. Another interesting point about staying in a Marrakesh riad on your Morocco holiday is that there are no big windows to be found on the outside walls.
When you step through the entrance to a riad, you feel like you are stepping back in time. You leave your modern cares behind and step into beauty, luxury and reflection. You’ll be greeted by a sparkling fountain and absolute serenity. As well as peace and quiet, the courtyard of a Marrakesh riad often boasts lemon and orange trees, shade and a soothing citrus scent. The trees are most often found situated in groups of four, with beautifully decorated walls, covered with tadelakt lime plaster and lovely zellige tiles. Even though the styles of the Marrakesh riads has changed over the years, the original design remains a well known and instantly recognized staple. In fact, if you do take any tours on your Morocco holidays, ask that you be shown the different styles of riads over the years. Some of the changes are quite thrilling. Even more exciting is the rapid pace at which the older, traditional riads are being renovated and modernized so they can continue providing peace and comfort to new generations. No matter what activities you choose to participate in during your stay in Morocco, there is a very good chance you will be spending a lot of time in riads. Many of them have been converted to restaurants, spas, hotels and even shopping outlets. There is one thing you can count on, and that is the fact that your Morocco holiday will not be an uninteresting one.
