Whichever side of the city you find yourself in however, one thing&#039;s for sure: stay in a riad.&#60;/p&#62; &#60;h2&#62; &#60;span&#62;But first, what is a riad?&#60;/span&#62; &#60;/h2&#62; &#60;p&#62;A riad is a traditional house in Morocco. Perhaps its most identifiable feature is the&#60;strong&#62;&#160;inner courtyard or garden at its center; &#60;/strong&#62;in fact, &#039;riad&#039; actually comes from the Arabic word &#039;ryad&#039; which means garden.&#60;/p&#62; &#60;p&#62;Instead of having large open windows that face outside, &#60;strong&#62;all the rooms in a riad are designed with windows facing inwards instead,&#60;/strong&#62; towards the&#60;a href=&#34;https://www.mariefranceasia.com/wedding-special/wedding-planning/outdoor-wedding-265907.html?utm_source=rss_feed&#38;#038;utm_medium=link&#38;#038;utm_campaign=unknown&#34;&#62; inner courtyard or garden&#60;/a&#62;. This characteristically Moroccan aesthetic stems from their Islamic ideals of privacy and inner reflection.
