Industrie Africa ranks us among the Top Rated Airbnb escapes in Africa

It is with great excitement that we share with you an accolade that fills us with pride: Industrie Africa has selected us as one of the best luxury destinations across the African continent in their article “Top Rated Airbnb Escapes Across Africa.”
Being included in a selection that spans the entire African continent—from Cape Town in South Africa to Victoria Falls in Zambia, from Nairobi in Kenya to the island of São Tomé—is an extraordinary honor for us. Industrie Africa has chosen Riad Alkemia as Morocco’s representative on this prestigious list of curated and elevated travel experiences.

Marrakech: gateway to the Sahara Desert

Particularly significant is how Industrie Africa described Marrakech as a city “rich in history and culture, a feast for the senses” and as the “gateway” to the Sahara Desert. This definition perfectly captures the essence of what we offer our guests: a privileged starting point for exploring the wonders of Morocco.

The article celebrates Riad Alkemia as an “authentic 18th-century Moroccan riad restored in 2019,” highlighting how we have managed to preserve traditional architecture while creating an environment designed for relaxation and modern comfort.

What struck us most was the description of our riad as a place where guests can “travel back in time” thanks to the intricate architecture and exquisite design that makes them feel like “Moroccan royalty.” It is exactly the atmosphere that Silvia and I dreamed of creating.

Industrie Africa has captured one of the aspects that most characterizes us: our tailor-made service. The article highlights how our staff takes care of all meals and the riad, even organizing special culinary experiences while guests relax completely.

This recognition of our philosophy of hospitality—where every detail is taken care of so that our guests can simply enjoy the moment—confirms that we are on the right track.

The article also highlights one of our most exciting experiences: a hot air balloon flight at dawn in the desert, accompanied by camel rides and breakfast in Agafay. Industrie Africa calls it a “once-in-a-lifetime” experience, and we couldn’t agree more.

Seeing this experience described alongside other African wonders such as safaris in Zambia or wine tastings in South Africa makes us realize how special what we offer here in Marrakech really is.

Thank you, Industrie Africa, for recognizing Riad Alkemia as one of the must-see destinations on the African continent. Continuing to be part of this selection of excellence motivates us every day to offer our guests the very best.
