What is the purchase price of a riad in Marrakech?

In Morocco, the purchase price of a riad in Marrakech ranges between 10,000 and 40,000 Moroccan dirhams (Dhs) per square metre, which corresponds to approximately €900 to €3,700 per m².

Based on our expertise in the sale of riads in Marrakech, the global price range for most properties is generally between €270,000 and €1,500,000, which corresponds to between 3,000,000 and 12,000,000 Moroccan dirhams.

Riad prices in Marrakech vary significantly depending on the location. Riads in the most sought-after areas of the medina, such as near Jemaa el-Fna, tend to be more expensive than those in the Bab Doukkala or Sidi Mimoun districts.

Other factors influencing the price of a riad for sale in Marrakech include the materials used, the condition of the property (to renovate or renovated), the number of bedrooms and amenities such as a swimming pool or a rooftop terrace. Price differences can be considerable between an unrestored riad and a property renovated by an architect.

High-end riads, fully renovated by architects or located in the most desirable neighbourhoods (Kasbah, Dar Bacha, Mouassine, Riad Zitoun), typically range between 7 and 12 million Dhs (€620,000 to €1,200,000). Exceptional riads with guesthouse licences, large surfaces, a bassin and rooftop terraces often exceed 20 million Dhs (€1,800,000 to €2,500,000).

Price of a riad to renovate

Riads requiring renovation are currently sold between 10,000 and 25,000 Dhs/m² (€900 to €2,250/m²), depending on several criteria:

• Structure: a sound or already reinforced riad is worth significantly more than one requiring major reconstruction.
• Neighbourhood: in the most desirable areas (Kasbah, Riad Zitoun, Dar Bacha, Mouassine), prices range between 15,000 and 25,000 Dhs/m²; properties below this range are now rare.
• Accessibility: proximity to car access or parking significantly increases the value.

Example: a 200 m² riad to renovate in the Kasbah district is typically negotiated between 3 and 5 million Dhs (€270,000 to €450,000), depending on its condition, structure and location.

Price of a renovated riad

Fully renovated riads combining zellige, marble, carved wooden ceilings and bespoke furnishings range between 15,000 and 40,000 Dhs/m² (€1,350 to €3,600/m²). Their value depends mainly on several factors:

• Quality of renovation: choice of materials, layout and architectural finishes.
• Neighbourhood and accessibility: Dar Bacha, Mouassine and Riad Zitoun show the highest price levels.
• Configuration: bright patio, bassin, exploitable rooftop terrace or guesthouse licence strongly influence the value.

Example: a 300 m² renovated riad in one of these neighbourhoods is currently valued between 7 and 10 million Dhs (€620,000 to €900,000), while exceptional riads exceed €1,400,000, especially those offering rare accessibility and high-end finishes.
