    From the moment we arrived, the staff made us feel incredibly welcome and cared for. Every detail of the riad is beautifully designed. Our room was spacious, clean, and beautifully decorated. The highlight of our stay was, without a doubt, the exceptional staff. They were attentive, friendly, and went out of their way to ensure we had everything we needed. The location is ideal – close enough to explore the medina, yet tucked away enough to offer a tranquil escape from the busy streets. We enjoyed relaxing in the serene courtyard and on the rooftop terrace, which had stunning views of the city. The breakfast each morning was delicious, with fresh ingredients and a variety of options to start the day right.

    Didn’t find anything

    I cannot recommend this riad highly enough. An absolute oasis of calm and slice of heaven. Not only is the riad extremely beautiful in the decor throughout, it’s very clean and has everything you need, it offers the most personalised and wonderful service. The team go above and beyond to make your stay perfect. Ahmed the driver was so kind driving us wherever needed and whenever we needed, Nabil, Youness and Omar were faultless always there to help and the chefs in the kitchen cook the most fresh and delicious meals. Breakfast was always the most amazing delight and if you wanted lunch or dinner it was all prepared freshly for you. The medina of Marrakesh is total madness so to escape into the kindness of the team within this riad is just perfect. I will definitely be returning and I’d 100% recommend.

    Nothing!!!! I am planning to stay again! I've stayed at 3 Riads and 2 hotels in the past 4 years and this has been my favourite! Also be very confident when walking at night, nobody will bother you or hurt you! Just don't be scared and i can honestly say the little streets of Marrakesh at 1am are safer than day time London!

    The road was incredible! Super clean and quiet. As long as you write down on your notes and learn to pronounce the location of where your Riad is. All taxis and drivers from activities will be able to find you, pick you up and drop you back! The staff speaks English and French! Breakfast is great! And if you like cats there is a little family right around the corner! Omar and Younes were always there to help us! We even met the owner, a super nice and lovely French lady and we complimented her for how beautiful Emberiza is!

    Beyond perfect I don’t think there is anything negative to say.

    The location is simply unbeatable, just a short walk from the city center and conveniently close to the taxi area, making trips to the medina and night market a breeze. The sense of safety throughout our stay was reassuring, which is especially important when traveling with children. From the moment we arrived, the staff made us feel incredibly welcome and attended to our every need with genuine warmth and hospitality. Breakfast each morning was a highlight—the best I’ve ever had in Marrakech, with a delicious variety of fresh, local flavours that set the perfect tone for our days of exploration. The Riad itself is nothing short of magical. The beauty of the architecture, combined with the serene atmosphere, created a peaceful retreat from the bustling city. The rooftop was a particular favorite spot for us, offering stunning views and a tranquil space to relax. Every corner of the Riad was impeccably clean, and the attention to detail was evident throughout. Traveling with my 17 and 11-year-old, I was thrilled to see how much they enjoyed the Riad as well. They were enchanted by its charm and appreciated the calm environment after our busy days in the city.

    Everything was incredible.

    This is perhaps the most positive review I have ever written, and I do it with tremendous joy. This Riad was not only charming, comfortable, well-stocked, and strategically located, but the staff made this an experience we will tressure for years to come. They got us taxis, when we needed them, fetched us everything we needed with promptness and a smile always on their faces, they pampered us with delicious meals, and overall, where just a joy to be around – one night one of them whipped out a guitar and serenaded us with beautiful music. My partner got sick the last day and when I tell you they waited on us hand and foot, that is an understatement. They made him special food, including a heaven-sent chicken soup, and brought us everything we needed to the room. Accommodation The beds were comfortable, the AC was cold, the rooms large and well-lit, the bathrooms well-stocked, and despite the sort of old-school feel of buildings like these, everything was extremely clean. The pool in the center patio of the Riad was like the most inviting Oasis after a day out and about in 100 F heat. They have scented candles all over and the lemon and orange trees in the patio make the whole thing even more heavenly. Food The breakfast is plenty and delicious, including multiple courses, coffee and juice. We had dinner and lunch as well, but that is not included in the room rate. The desserts were to die for. When my partner was sick, they made him off-menu (very off-menu) dishes, that were just as delicious as everything else. The cook was so wonderful I gave her the biggest hug when I left. Location We were travelling with older, less mobile folks, so walking to and from the Riad (especially in the high temperatures of August) was not really something we did, though I know it was completely doable, especially to some of the best areas of the Medina (Jemma el Fna, Madersa Ben Youssef).

    Location is good, at the very entrance of the north part of the Medina. 10 minutes walking from the main square of the city. Nevertheless, if you plan to explore the city at night, might be better to go back with a taxi

    The Riad is beautiful, super clean and very comfortable. Breakfast is delicious and the staff, Joseph and Omar, are super nice and always very willing to answer every question and help. They also helped us to organize the following days of our vacation in Morocco.

    I loved everything.

    I had an extraordinary time at the Riad Emberiza Sahari. Situated within the Medina, once you step through its doors, you're welcomed into an aesthetically pleasing environment we Africans fondly refer to as "vintage old money vibes." Its traditional Moroccan ambiance is truly breathtaking, and the customer service is unparalleled. The Riad Emberiza Sahari offers a perfect blend of privacy and warmth, making you feel both safe and part of a loving family. Special kudos to Omar, a talented young staff member whose guitar skills are as remarkable as his friendliness and helpfulness. Ilham, the chef, prepares the most delicious meals I've had in Morocco. Whatever meal you want, Ilham will do it. Nabil, the supervisor, is also a fantastic person, always ready to assist with a smile. I highly recommend this Riad to any guest in Morocco who wants to experience a quality stay with love and genuine friendship during their stay. A fun fact: As informed by the supervisor, I am honored to be the first Nigerian to stay at the Riad Emberiza Sahari. I love it!
