    It’s so good to see that AG is collaborating with a Moroccan family business to sell these slippers, unlike the likes of Celine, Gucci, Dolce & Gabbana and Balenciaga who just copied the babouche design and then sold it for ridiculous prices.

    Riad is a traditional Moroccan house..usually with a court yard inside. It was meant for a family with with more than one wife in order for each wife to have her own privacy and no one could see their doings from the outside. That was the examination I got when I visited lol

      Okay great, I personally could not verify any of what mentioned regarding it’s use for a family with multiple wives. A riad has been a thing since Roman times. For anyone interested, here’s what the wiki has to say: A riad (Arabic: رياض, romanized: riyāḑ; also spelled "riyad") is a type of traditional Moroccan and Andalusi interior garden or courtyard associated with house and palace architecture.[1] Its origin is generally attributed to Persian gardens that spread during the Islamic period. The term is nowadays often used in Morocco to refer to a hotel or guesthouse-style accommodation with shared common areas and private rooms, often within a restored traditional mansion.

Thanks for taking us along on your trip, it was very interesting. I know someone who travels often to Morocco, it's his favorite place to visit, but I've never seen it like you showed it! P.S.

    The Adhan (call to prayer) is profoundly beautiful just on my phone, can't imagine how moving it is in person. I encourage people of all religions to listen to it because it's in Arabic but you feel the passion of it without knowing the translation.

    Riads are actually old merchants' homes, since a medina was a centre of trade. Normally one building would host a whole family, with many levels and a patio in the middle usually with a fountain, and tiled floors. Many of those riads are now converted into accommodation for tourists.
