05 — Henna ceremony in Marrakech A design that stays with you, long after your trip

A shared moment over henna, with a hennaya who draws unique, delicate designs inspired by the seasons and their symbols.

In autumn, the pomegranate, a symbol of prosperity and life, inspires the patterns. With Moroccan pastries and mint tea: a simple, precious moment.

From €20 — depending on the number of people and designs.

07 — Our story

One encounter at a time

The riad was born of a wish I have carried with me for a long time: to bring people together, to help them meet, and to share the Morocco I have known since I was a child.

I have always felt that Morocco has something that is hard to put into words. A light. An energy. A soul. And I wanted to create a place where travellers could come and feel it.

This place is my way of showing you Morocco through my eyes: the Morocco that stays with you long after you have come home.

But this story would not have taken the same path without a few special people. My brightest star, Robine, who gave me the precious push I needed, and my big brother, who was by my side at every step. I owe part of this place to them, and to everyone who believed in this idea.

And now that you’re here, I’d love to tell you this story, one encounter at a time.
