Situated near the eastern entrance to the Souk, Riad Herougui is well placed for guests to enjoy the mysteries of Marrakech to include Ben Youssef Medersa, the Marrakech Museum and the Place Ben Salah, to name a few.

The current owner of Riad Herougui is a well-known Parisian interior-decorator. It has been meticulously restored, using traditional techniques and crafts, into a sumptuous residence.

Columned arches, ornate balustrades and galleries over look the magnificent central courtyard/garden and pool. The courtyard, paved with pale pink floor tiles (beijmats) from Meknes and lined with wall friezes in ceramic tiles (zelliges), is planted with palm-trees and yuccas. In the evening, the light from cast iron Mosque lanterns and the gentle trickle of water from the fountain create an ambience of peace and tranquillity within this bustling Metropolis.
