Morocco Marrakech's riad (traditional house), the sound of the fountain in the central courtyard and mosaic tiles. The scent of mint tea and spices, the call to Muslim prayer echoing from afar, and the night where the smell of the forbidden becomes even more tantalizing.
The combination of Islamic culture's taboos and secrets. Oriental eroticism. Arabesque patterns and sensual environment.
A boutique riad deep in the Marrakech medina. From the outside, it's ordinary mud walls, but opening the door reveals a paradise-like courtyard. The 'Hammam experience' for foreign travelers is the signature of this riad.
Water sounds echoing from the tile mosaic fountain in the courtyard. Looking down from the 2nd-floor balcony, no one around, lean on cushions by the fountain sipping mint tea until lips meet. Arabesque patterns cast shadows on the skin.
Steamy traditional hammam, lie on marble for kessen (scrub) all over the body. Black soap and argan oil, rosewater sliding over skin, double meaning in "Shall I scrub harder?" Boundaries melt in the hammam's heat.
