Access
The riad is located in the Medina, the old city of Marrakech, 10 minutes by car from the airport.
The Medina is surrounded by walls pierced with entrance doors (Bab).
The Riad Oasis is located near the Ksour gate (Bab Ksour). Cars cannot enter the Medina due, among other things, to the narrowness of the streets.
Taxis drop guests off at the door and a cart system – a mule or arm carrozza accompanies guests with their luggage to the riad, which is a 4-minute walk from Bab Ksour.
Security
The Medina is subdivided into districts and precincts (called Derb in Arabic).
Riad Oasis is located in the Mouassine district (neighborhood of the Mouassine mosque) and in the Derb Snane.
The front door of the Derb is unique, which means that someone who enters the derb must necessarily exit through the same door.
This door is guarded from 7p.m. to 8a.m. by a night watchman who patrols the derb for security. It is possible at night to ask this guardian to accompany the hosts to the door of the riad.
« Amazing space in the center of the Medina. Very luxurious, quiet, away from the hustle and bustle of the markets but yet very close within a short walk to all souls and market. The Riad itself is beautiful. Linens were very clean and luxurious. The beds were quite firm, however. We loved spending time in the late afternoon swimming in the pool, playing Moroccan music, and just relaxing before dinner. Amine was very helpful, daily, with breakfast plans, excursions, and anything else we needed. The check-in and out was seamless and the taxi driver was always there waiting for us ready to go. Just can’t say enough about our trip in this Riad. This is the reason I love Airbnb so I can have these experiences and stay out of the chaotic hotels.
