Roqaya
Riad La Cigale traces its roots back to the 1600s and has been lived in by families till 1992 when it was transformed into a guest house right in the heart of the medina. It has since been refurbished and modernized while staying true to its heritage and Moroccan culture and tradition. With five en-suite bedrooms, it is an inviting and welcoming haven steps away from the hustle and bustle of the world-famous medina of Marrakech. Whether you want to have a hammam or massage or a drink at the terrace, there is always something to put you at ease.
Riad La Cigale is managed by Roqaya, a proud Berber who is passionate about her heritage and culture and is the perfect host to welcome you to both Marrakech and Morocco. Having worked with both large 5-star properties and boutique travel agencies, she is ideally suited to both understand your needs and guide you to all that Marrakech has to offer.
Riad La Cigale is located in a quiet alley in Derb Dabachi and just 150 steps away from one of the main shopping and eating streets of the medina. A further two minutes away is the UNESCO World Heritage Site, Djemma el Fnaa. The food, the music, the story-tellers, the henna artists will captivate you like no other space on earth. The main souks, museums, taxi rank, and parking are also minutes away.
