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.

Riad Kniza was the highlight of our honeymoon trip to Marrakesh. The staff was a delight - so polite and accommodating. The Riad itself is absolutely beautiful and the room we stayed in was also gorgeous. An amazing breakfast was served, every single morning, and we also got lunch one day, which was quite good.
Would highly, highly recommend. When I miss Marrakesh, it will be Riad Kniza that I am thinking of!!

Riad Kniza was a perfect location for our visit in Marrakech. We only had 2 nights to cram in all of the sights and shopping and this location could not have been more perfect! The service was also unreal. The breakfast and dinner service was superb, really made our stay so pleasant as we would embark upon 8 hour tours so it was nice to be made to feel so special. The staff was professional, attentive and kind. I'm really happy we stayed here as it was difficult to choose between all of the alternative Riad's offered to us.

The staff at Riad Kniza were truly amazing from answering our questions prior to our visit arranging a taxi to/from the airport and excursions. Riad Kniza is a quick walk to the taxi stand near the main gate which we were greeted by Kniza staff to take our luggage. The walk to the Kniza was a tease of what to expect by walking past street vendors such as fruit stands, butchers, tangine pots, lots of motorcycles passing, bicycles, people and just organized chaos.
We were greeted by Maria who brought us to a room for tea and Moroccan treats. After tea we were given a tour of the Riad which is beautiful!! Our room was on the first floor and consisted of a living room, bedroom and bathroom which was very clean. We ate dinner at Riad Kniza the first evening and was awesome. excellent service.
