Central Medina Location

Riad Karmela is located an 8-minute walk from Jemaa El Fna square and close to the Museum of Marrakech. Grand Taxis are available within an 18-minute walk. The property offers one free airport transfer for stays of three nights or more.

“In the heart of the Medina, this property strikes a harmonious balance, placing guests within an eight-minute walk of Jemaa El Fna square yet offering a tranquil escape from the bustling souks. The allure of a rooftop terrace, complete with a plunge pool and hot tub, adds to its appeal as a serene retreat; the traditional restaurant, featuring locally sourced dishes, promises an authentic Moroccan culinary experience. This is a place where cultural immersion meets relaxation.”
