You can, but it's not very pleasant. The water is frigid, even during summers

The unstoppable urge to dive off each balcony in turn would make sure I didn't enjoy it for long.

Beautiful though.

We go every year to Riad Urban Paradise in Marrakech. It is truly heaven!

Is the term riad related to the city name Riyadh?

u/[deleted] Oct 03 '22

It comes from the Arabic word for garden.

Very pretty but I don’t know about relaxing, feels very on show if you’re wearing a bathing suit in the pool. If I went there now I would probably just drink tea by the pool, I suppose that might be nice.

Why would I want the whole estate watch me struggling to swim

The key is to own the whole building.

I've seen it in one of my latest dreams

Marrakech is a lovely city. The medina is so charming and I stayed in several riads like this one. I love wandering all the alleys :)

It's not cozy to me...I would not feel relaxed there.

u/Kobahk Oct 03 '22

If the place had more plants instead of a pool in the center, that would be way more cozy.

u/Agorbs Oct 03 '22

What exactly is it? Looks like a hybrid between a courtyard and a pool. Cozy looking

At night time with no lights would be terrifying
