** A riad is a traditional Moroccan house built around an interior garden or courtyard with no windows or balconies facing the street, a typical Islamic architecture designed to maximise family privacy from the outside world. Original riads are beautiful family homes once belonged to rich local merchants. Many have been restored and converted into "boutique guesthouses".
