Riad Hikaya.

Riad Hikaya is a beautifully restored riad in the Kasbah district of Marrakech.

It was purchased by an Englishman who spent 15 years restoring it because everything inside the riad is handmade.

It is captivating and very pleasing to the eye.

Riad Hikaya is not a budget riad.

However, considering its aesthetics and the professionalism of the staff, it’s worth paying a little extra for.

The breakfasts were very good and I ate there one evening and the meal was delicious.

There is a beautiful rooftop with several places to sit in the shade or soak up some of the hot, morroccan sun.

The Kasbah is a great place to stay with more of an authentic feel about it.

There are plenty of good restaurants, including The Clock, which is across the road from Riad Hikaya.

There are shops and attractions such as El Badi Palace and the Saadian tombs to explore.

I enjoyed staying amongst the locals in Kasbah, and it was a nice 15 – to 20-minute walk to the main square Jamaa El Fna.

Riad Hikaya was a good choice, I loved the large copper bathtub in my room and the total piece and quiet the riad provided me with.

If you’re looking for a lively scene, this place may not be for you. But if you want to disconnect from the busy touristic areas for a while, it’s a perfect retreat.
