Jean Jacques
The Riad Balkisse is a small riad of 8 rooms, a great location and offering every comfort (air conditioning, terrace ...) to stay in the medina of Marrakech. All rooms are equipped with air conditioning, heating and an adjoining bathroom.
Hello and welcome to Marrakech My name is Jean Jacques I live in Morocco for 10 years and it is a great pleasure to welcome you in my riad and share with you my vision and my love of Morocco. You are at home here, I receive you like at home and my whole team and myself, at all times, are here to bring you everything you need or want.
The attraction of the Riad Balkisse is that it is located next to 2 minutes from the Jema el Fna square and close to the main attractions of the medina (souks, Koutoubia, Bahia Palace ...). You can do everything on foot.
