Further details
Unchanged since the Middle Ages, Marrakesh's solid ramparts encircle and protect its mysterious labyrinthine medina, which hides sultans' palaces, the ornate mansions of rich merchants, and some of the most colourful bazaars in the Arab world. The Djemaa el Fna square in Marrakech is an open-air theatre. By day it sports clusters of stalls selling fresh orange juice, plants, dried fruit and nuts. By night, it fills up with snake charmers, storytellers, belly dancers, musicians and crowds of onlookers. On one side are open air BBQs, which waft delectable meat scents across the square; on the other are rooftop cafes from which you can watch the night unfold. And all around are the souks: an overwhelming array of stalls which wind their way down narrow paths, selling a fabulous selection of leather slippers, ceramics, beautiful cowhide lamps, traditional rugs and wood carvings. Shopping here is addictive stuff. Riad Dar 'Rabia is just a 7-minute stroll from this famous sqare and the souks.Located near King Mohammed VI's palace in a well-lit, secure neighbourhood of the medina of Marrakesh. Overlooking the Mamounia Gardens,with its fabulous olive grove and orangery, the house is also in close proximity to 'Hivernage', where the majority of prestigious hotels,casinos,clubs and restaurants are to be found..The area is easily accessible by car and there is 24hr car parking nearby.

The evenings relaxing on the couches of the roof top terrace, the mountains covered in snow, the birds singing in the olive grove of the Mamounia, simply Nirvana!(Christine April 2009).
