Top-Location in the medina
Riad Selouane has an exceptionally favorable location: on the edge of the medina and yet right in the middle of it. In the old town, which can only be reached on foot, but only a few meters away from the nearest taxi stand.
Near the royal palace Dar el Bacha with its security present day and night. With a nightguard in the alley to keep you safe after dark.
It’s quiet here, but turn two corners and you’re right in the middle of the hustle and bustle of the souks.
Some of the most popular restaurants and sights are less than a 3 minute walk away: Café Arabe, Terrasse des Epices, Jardin Secret, and Bacha Coffee House.
The Jemaa el Fna place is a 10-minute walk away and the airport is a 20-minute taxi ride away.
And above all: easy to find for our guests.

How to find us — from the Medina
If you want to get to Riad Selouane from the souks of the medina, the best place to head for is the Jardin Secret. Directly opposite is the popular Café Arabe. Both places are well known by locals in the souk, in case you need to ask for directions.
Jardin Secret on the left, Café Arabe on the right, walk until you reach the crossroads with the archways. Turn left here and follow the alley.
There are a few shops and a (hidden) exchange office, then a turn-off on the left. There is a small kiosk on the corner and here you need to turn left into the alley called Derb Tizougarine. There is also a sign above the archway that says Riad Selouane.
In the small alley there is a bakery on the left, the entrance to a mosque on the right and then the first cross alley to either side. Continue straight on and then take the next alley on the right.
Then you will already see our entrance door and have reached the Riad.

How to find us — from the new city
If you are coming from the direction of the new city, your starting point is the taxi stand at Dar el Bacha. Dar el Bacha is one of the royal palaces in Marrakech and every local knows it. The Riad is barely 300 m from here and you can’t get any closer by car.
From there, walk along the wide pedestrian street past the palace towards the city centre. There are some exclusive antique shops in this alley, which is why this neighborhood is also called Quartier des Antiquaires.
On the right side is the Restaurant Dar Donab, then on the left side you pass Restaurant Babouche.
On the left-hand side, at the corner of a small alley, is a kiosk where the locals buy everything from cigarettes and lemonade to spare batteries.
You have to turn into this alley called Derb Tizougarine. There is also a sign above the archway that says Riad Selouane.
In the small alley there is a bakery on the left, the entrance to a mosque on the right and then the first cross alley to either side. Continue straight on and then take the next alley on the right.
Then you will already see our entrance door and have reached the Riad.

If you get lost
Don’t panic, getting lost is part of an eventful stay in Marrakech!
Don’t worry, so far every one of our guests has found their way back. Keep calm and try to reach one of the places mentioned above: Jardin Secret or Dar el Bacha. From there, it’s easy with our directions.
If you need to ask someone for directions, ask other tourists first. Don’t ask for our Riad, but for well-known places like the Jardin Secret.
If you ask locals, you must expect to pay them for helping you .In the medina there are many boys who make a good business with lost tourists and quite often you end up in a carpet bazaar rather than in our Riad. Such a situation is usually best mastered with humor…
With internet reception, you can find your way around the medina quite easily using Google Maps. Although not every alley and every turn-off is really marked correctly, the rough direction can be determined this way. If you don’t have internet reception, find a café, drink a mint tea and use the internet there. If you then ask for directions when paying, they will be happy to help you — and the mint tea is definitely cheaper than the carpet bazaar!
Arrival by vehicle
As Riad Selouane is located in the old town, we can only be reached on foot. There are a few parking spaces along the road in the immediate vicinity where you can park your car, but these are usually occupied and difficult to get hold of.
In any case, please inform us in advance so that we know you need a parking space and we can help you.
Please call the Riad about half an hour before arrival. Our manager Nouri will come to Dar el Bacha and help you find a parking space. He will then help you with your luggage and guide you to the Riad.
For Google Maps, please enter: Restaurant Dar Moha (Rue dar el Bacha 81)
This restaurant is located directly opposite the Royal Palace, so you’ll end up in exactly the right place.
Arrival from the airport
Most of our guests arrive at Marrakech-Menara Airport. From there, you will need to take a taxi or bus to the medina and walk the last part of the way to Riad Selouane. Here you get a first impression of the lively hustle and bustle in the souks and can familiarise yourself with the immediate surroundings.
To make your arrival at the Riad easier, we are happy to arrange transport from the airport in an air-conditioned car.
Please contact us a few days before your arrival to arrange the details.
