Riad - arab: الرياض‎ Ar-Riyādh, which means " The gardens". Basically a Riad is  a house with a garden. They are very comum and easy to find in Morocco. Most of the Riads opened now to the public, have been rebuilt and transformed in to "maison d'hotês". They work as small hotels, and can be found  inside the "Medinas" of each village. They are definitely to be seen! Riads are a god option to the hotel, that usually are more expensive and not so traditional.
