Riad Emberiza Sahari

My son and I are in Marrakech and staying at the Riad Emberiza and everything has been perfect! My friend told me to contact Youssef before we arrived and he set up everything for us, hotel, airport transfer, excursions etc… He was out tour guide through the Medina the first day which was perfect, as otherwise we would have gotten hopelessly lost. The breakfasts were amazing and the property is breathtaking. It was such a respite from the craziness of Marrakech. The staff was so kind and helpful, even incongruous us to join in their family meal. I could not recommend this riad enough!

Amazing serenity tucked away in the busy streets of the Medina. The staff cannot do enough and took care of us. They really are an amazing team. The breakfasts are delicious, as well as the lunch and dinner. The rooms are beautiful and clean and the housekeeping team were great. The sunrise on the roof as we used the yoga mats to enjoy it. The prices are really reasonable with wine for a euro per glass.

The Riad is beautiful. Traditional yet modern. So chic. But the staff are the best part about the Riad - they really understand hospitality. Nabil, the manager, called me before I arrived to check everything was in order and confirm we were expected, which was nice. When we arrived we were welcomed with mint tea, and then served dinner. The lamb tagine is the best I have ever had, and the best food I had in Marrakesh was at the Riad. Breakfast is also lovely! Highly recommend the food - hats off to the chef! We were also serenaded by Omar playing the guitar on the first night which was also amazing. But my favourite member of staff was Muad. Muad is an absolute pleasure to deal with on a daily basis. He has lovely mannerisms and he really made us feel welcome. If I ever come back to Marrakesh I’d love to stay here again. If you are thinking about booking, don’t hesitate - you’ll not be disappointed.

Serene setting with extraordinary hospitality. The team of Moad, Yussef and Nabil were so kind and provided exceptional service. Beds were very comfortable and breakfasts were always a treat thanks to the amazing preparation of Ilham. Our son was not feeling good and the entire team went above and beyond to make sure he was looked after. Highly recommend this Riad to anyone visiting Marrakesh. We loved it here. A heartfelt thanks to the entire staff of Riad Emberiza Sahari!

When you come across Riad Emberiza’s website, look no further; you have come across an amazing oasis in the middle of a bustling Medina. Conveniently located and recently refurbished, the Riad is beautiful and peaceful. At ground level, one can sit by the pool amongst the orange and mandarin trees, listening to the singing of the birds and enjoying a mint tea or coffee. At roof level, the views of Marrakech are spectacular and the sunsets amazing! We often sat up there with a glass of wine and some tasty snacks from the kitchen to watch the Sun go down and the lights of Marrakech come up. All the staff at the Riad are amazing. Nothing was too much trouble. From the moment we arrived, we were so warmly welcomed by Youssef, Nabil, and all of the wonderful staff. We were reminded that this was our home whilst we are here and everyone ensured that we had the best possible time. Breakfast was a feast, served by the ever friendly and smiling Moaad. We decided to have dinner at the Riad the first night. We love Moroccan food and the meal exceeded our expectations, so much so that we decided to eat at the Riad every evening for our entire stay of 4 nights. Groceries are bought fresh daily and the meals are expertly prepared by chef Elhaim and Naima and Oumaima. Every evening we enjoyed a different Moroccan delight. To sit at ground level by the pool and the trees and enjoy our meal was very special. Great care is taken by the staff to keep the Riad impeccably clean. The bedroom (with en-suite bathroom) we had was very comfortable and was serviced daily. Youssef and Nabil were extremely helpful and efficient in arranging tours, taxis and train tickets and were a mine of interesting information. We loved our stay and highly recommend Riad Emberiza Sahari for your stay in Marrakech!

It was really a wonderful stay. The staff was so accommodating and really fulfilled our every wish. The food was fantastic. A perfect place to relax!

This Riad is little paradise, a real jewel, the owner Alexandra is very welcoming, incredibly helpful, taking care of the smallest detail to make your stay better. We were on yoga retreat in this Riad, we had sessions on the roof terrace every morning and every evening. The vue was spllendid: you can see the Atlas Mountains with the snow on the top. It was a magical time in Emberiza Sahari.

We spent four magical days at Riad Emberiza Sahari in September 2023 just after the new owners had finished refurbishing this exquisite old home. Riad Emberiza Sahari is well located in the old Medina with easily accessable from the external car park. The bedrooms are quiet, spacious and beautifully appointed and overlook a central courtyard and sublime swimming pool surrounded by old citrus trees. The manager, Youssef was extremely helpful and seemlessly organised tours, visits and bookings for guests. There is a resident chef who produces amazing modern Moroccan style cuisine. I highly recommend Riad Emberiza Sahari to anyone travelling to Marrakech. It is a truely beautiful and peaceful refuge within the busy and bustling medina. Spending a couple of days at Riad Emberiza Sahari will enrich your experience of Morocco.
