the beauty of Morocco
 |
| Fès, Morocco |
Riads (traditional Moroccan house or palace with an interior garden or courtyard) are a popular choice when visiting Morocco. The word "riad" is an Arabic term, "ryad", meaning "garden".
I especially love the attention to detail in the decoration of these riads. This particular one is Riad Laayoun.
