How much does a riad cost in Marrakech?
The price mainly depends on the location within the medina, the surface area, the condition (renovated or in need of restoration), and the amenities (pool, terrace, number of bedrooms). The price gap between a riad requiring renovation and one ready for operation is considerable.

- The building's condition — a riad needing restoration may hide major structural work.
- Access — some alleyways in the medina are not accessible by vehicle.
- The title deed — carefully verify the legal status.
- Profitability as a guesthouse — study the demand and competition.
