About the location
Famed for its exotic ambiance, eclectic style and unique architecture, Marrakech is a fascinating destination which attracts visitors from across the globe. Framed by the snow capped High Atlas Mountains, at the heart of the city is the central medina which is steeped in ancient history, combining Arabic and African culture.
Marrakech offers a feast for all the senses. Bustling market stalls line the walkways, while elaborate archways open up into tranquil courtyards. The city is alive with vivid colour and tourists will fall in love with the vibrance of this city. Walls are awash with rose pink, spices create golden hues, deep red textiles add richness and shades of blue bring a pop of colour to doors. Aromas from food stalls waft throughout the streets, offering authentic flavours including tagine and fresh seafood. Sandwiched between the historic mosques and beautiful mansions, you’ll find quaint shops and boutiques (or souks), selling a range of authentic wares from hand beaded slippers to fragrant spices. And it’s not uncommon to stumble across entertainers including jugglers, snake charmers and belly dancers, adding to the exotic buzz of the city.

I travelled to Marrakech with my mum for her 70th birthday and it was an amazing experience from start to finish. The Riad gave us a very warm welcome with some fresh tea and coffee when we arrived. They also provided us with a map and a mobile phone, which we could use during our stay to make local calls and which had a great little app with restaurant reviews, tourist attractions and shopping suggestions. The dinner in the evening was lovely and they had musicians in the courtyard playing which was lovely.
If you want to stay in a traditional Riad and have the full Marrakech experience, i would highly recommend a stay

Having read previous glowing reviews, we booked the Riad Kniza wanting a touch of luxury during our stay. We were not disappointed as this is a beautiful and peaceful place to stay. Immaculately clean with a lovely comfortable room, the Riad is a peaceful haven away from the mad busy streets and souks of Marrakesh. The staff are so friendly and helpful and nothing was any trouble. The breakfasts were top class and had more than enough food to start your day. This really is a charming place to stay and I cannot recommend the Riad Kniza enough. You will love it!

We didn't stay here, but our Tour Rep suggested Riad Kniza for an intimate, romantic meal away from the hustle and bustle of the Souks and main square and we were not disappointed. The staff were very friendly and helpful from the moment we stepped into the beautiful oasis. We had a short tour of the Riad before being taken to the beautiful restaurant and seated at our table. The waiter was very attentive and provided excellent service. We had a traditional set menu which worked out at about ??50 per person for a delicious 5 course meal. Every element was outstanding and it was a fantastic dining experience which I would highly recommend.

Our room was lovely, the staff was friendly and very helpful! The breakfast that was included was a great way to start our day. They even figured out how we could have alcohol in our room! Because everything is a hard surface, noise does travel a little.
