Riad Al Uzza

Riad Al Uzza Overview

First Impressions

Walking through the narrow alleyways of the Medina to find Riad Al Uzza feels like a treasure hunt — and honestly, that’s part of the charm. This four-star riad sits right in the Quartier Ksour, which means you’re literally in the beating heart of old Marrakech. The entrance is unassuming (as most riads are), but step inside and you’ll understand why this place scores a remarkable 9.7 with guests. The traditional courtyard opens up before you with that classic riad architecture — tiled floors, carved plasterwork, and a sense of calm that immediately makes the bustling medina feel miles away.

Location Magic

You know what I love about this spot? You’re actually staying where Marrakech locals have lived for centuries, not in some tourist bubble. The location score of 9.4 isn’t just numbers — it means you can stumble to Jemaa el-Fnaa square in minutes, duck into the souks whenever the mood strikes, and still retreat to your peaceful riad when the sensory overload kicks in. Couples especially seem to get this (they rate the location 9.4 for romantic trips), probably because there’s something magical about getting lost together in these ancient streets, then finding your way back to your own little sanctuary.

The Riad Experience

Each room here feels like stepping into a Moroccan fairy tale, but with modern comforts that actually work. The traditional décor isn’t overdone — it strikes that perfect balance between authentic and comfortable. What really impressed me is how quiet everything gets once you’re inside, despite being surrounded by the medina’s constant hum. The central courtyard becomes your personal oasis, and I mean that literally — it’s where you’ll probably end up spending your evenings, mint tea in hand, planning the next day’s adventures.

Breakfast and Hospitality

The breakfast here deserves its own mention — it’s halal and features a mix of Moroccan and continental options that’ll fuel you for a full day of exploring. Fresh bread, local honey, olives, and strong coffee served in that gorgeous courtyard setting. The staff really knows their stuff too; they’re not just polite, they’re genuinely helpful with directions, recommendations, and those little insider tips that make a difference. They understand that navigating the medina can be overwhelming, especially on your first day.

Why Guests Love It

Here’s the thing about Riad Al Uzza — it gives you that authentic Marrakech experience without sacrificing comfort or location. You’re not just visiting the medina, you’re living in it, but with a beautiful retreat to return to each night. The combination of being steps away from everything important while having your own peaceful corner explains why guests rate it so highly. It’s that rare place where the romance of old Morocco meets the practical needs of modern travelers, and honestly, that balance is harder to find than you might think.
