Every Kitesurfers Home Away From Home in Essaouira

Riad Zahra is one of our absolute favorite places to stay when travelling to Essaouira in Morroco for our kitesurfing holidays. Without out a doubt has this Riad become like a second home for us.

Essaouira

But what is a Riad? A Riad is a traditional Moroccan palace or house that boasts an interior garden within the premises. The name comes from the Arabic word for garden, “Ryad”. What is so amazing is that the Riads are usually closed from the outside which doesn’t allow their charm to be seen from the streets, but once you step inside you will be invited to a whole new world, with planted trees, fountains, flowers, and an amazing architecture. Usually the Riads are square-shaped houses of one or two floors in which the rooms all open to the central interior patio. Many of these Riads have been converted to guesthouses or smaller hotels and Riad Zahra is one of them.

Riad Zahra is where we will be staying in Essaouria in September 2011. This will be the place to be as KITE AROUND is offering not only a unique holiday but the chance to head to a exotic location to participate in a new kitesurfing adventure;  a WAVE CAMP with the Dominican World Champion WaveMaster 2009, Jan Marcos Riviera! With us you can sign up for a different type of kite surfing holiday that will give you the chance to learn, improve, and kitesurf with one of the masters. Jan Marcos will offer chat sessions, training, techniques, lots of kitesurfing and a whole lot of fun during holiday in Essaouira! For more information contact us on info@kite-around.com.

Jan Marcos will be in Essaouira

Riad Zahra will then also become your home away from home. The Riad is located close to the Medina (main square) and more importantly only 2 minutes away from the beach and the winds! The Riad has excellent facilities; a restaurant, cafe, bar, private parking, pool, internet, kite school and even a storage room for our kite material! Can it get any better?? Well yes, our host, Xavier, is the best one could hope for and makes the experience that extra special and welcoming.
