About

Riad Sor

Riad Sor sits on Rue Mellah in the heart of Essaouira’s old Jewish quarter, a short walk from the medina’s souks and the sea. The riad’s traditional architecture opens onto a central courtyard, with a rooftop terrace and sun terrace for quiet moments above the city.

Inside, the property is run with a personal touch: a 24-hour reception, VIP and express check-in options, and staff who can arrange tours, car hire, or an airport shuttle. Breakfast can be served in your room, and the shared spaces — including a picnic area and garden furniture — make it easy to slow down.
