Kssour Agafay is a 16th century riad in the heart of the Marrakech Medina. One of the oldest riads in the Medina, it is the only riad to have the courtyard on the first floor. Once home to a Moroccan Noble family, “Chorfa el Meslohian” Kssour Agafay was built five hundred years ago as a home and a place to entertain stately visitors. The riad fell into disrepair through the 20th century and was bought by the present owners in 1997 and faithfully restored over a period of three years. Kssour Agafay still has many of it's original 16th century features, including painted wood ceilings, hand carved plaster wall decorations and arches, intricately tiled walls and 4 meter high doors.
