Origin and UsageThe word "riad" comes from the Arabic word "ryad" which means "garden". Riads are typically found in the old city or medina of Moroccan cities such as Marrakech, Fez, and Rabat. They were originally built as private residences for wealthy families and were designed to provide a peaceful and cool retreat from the hot and busy streets outside.
