The Marrakech / Essaouira / Marrakech Region
Marrakech known as the "Red City", is the former imperial city in Morocco. Like many North African and Middle Eastern cities, Marrakech comprises both an old fortified city (the médina) and an adjacent modern city (called Gueliz). Marrakech has the largest traditional market (souk) in Morocco and also has one of the busiest squares in Africa and the world, Jemaa el Fna. The square bustles with acrobats, story-tellers, water sellers, dancers, and musicians. By night, the square turns into food stalls, becoming a huge open-air restaurant with busy life.
Marrakech is ideal as a home base to visit the valley of the Ourika River in the Atlas Mountains or the valley of the Draa River in the south near the Sahara desert, but also to Middle Atlas Mountains: Waterfalls of Beni Mellal, and to Essaouira on the Atlantic ocean.
Marrakech City / Medina area
Marrakech is an exotic city that at first seems a little overwhelming but soon you relax into a different and very welcoming culture.
Marrakech is as much an experience as a place, offering food, music, sights, sounds and smells you may never experienced before. From the tiny streets and souks of the old médina, to the wide boulevards of the modern Guéliz, there is something here for everyone and every day turns into an adventure.

Within the courtyard is the bhou, a comfortable sitting area to read... write... eat... or have Moroccan tea. Relax in the salon listening to the selection of North African music or dine by the fireplace in the cooler months. The courtyard, naturally shady and cool during the hot months is perfect for breakfast or tea. On the terrace, views of Ali Ben Youssef Mosque and peeks of the Atlas Mountains by day; by night the rising steam from Jemaa el Fna . Choose between the Moroccan sofa and traditional Berber sitting area or at the zellige tables under the Berber inspired umbrella for breakfast, lunch or dinner. Lounge under the magnificent Moroccan sun for a healthy dose of vitamin D. Or just relax with light appetizers and drinks before sunset and watch the strokes fly by.

Guestbook for Riad Ma'ab Courtyard Home
"Your riad is breathtakingly beautiful and we will definitely stay there again. For us the customer service is as important as the accommodation and we would rate Riad Ma'ab as 10/10 for both." J.M. Buckinghamshire, UK
"Riad Ma'ab is an elegant, tranquil oasis amidst the hustle and bustle of Marrakech. Set back in a quiet residential street inside the Medina, yet within a five-minute walk to the souks and Jemaa El-Fna Town Square. We stayed at Riad Ma'ab prior to the official opening so everything was brand new. The owners, John and Cindy, rebuilt the Riad during a three-year span that has resulted in a beautiful home away from home for the tired traveler." V. & S. Lessinger, Hermosa Beach, CA USA
"Being here at Riad Ma'ab was good for the mind and body! It's definitely a place to which one returns" Ruben & Chris, The Netherlands
"Well your riad certainly lives up to its name! I had a terrific nights sleep+10 hours, I can't recall when I last did that! ..." P.B. Portugal
