A riad is a type of Moroccan courtyard and is often used to refer to a hotel or guesthouse. The term for Riad is from the Arabic term for garden (riyad). Riad architecture has ancient roots in Mediterranean and Middle Eastern domestic architecture, often with two or more stories around an interior symmetrical garden centered around a fountain.
