Riad Dar Shaeir

A Journey Through Time and Comfort

Welcome to Riad Dar Shaeir, a historical gem nestled in the heart of Rabat's medina. Constructed in 1840, this riad is a stunning example of Arabo-Andalusian architecture, reflecting the rich cultural heritage of Morocco. The riad holds a unique place in history as the residence of the first ambassador sent by King Hassan I to Europe. Later, it became home to his grandson, a distinguished poet, who aptly named it the "House of Poetry."
