It’s great to see that sustainable travel is now a top priority for eco-conscious travellers, and Riads, especially the amazing Riad Palais Amani, are leading the way. These traditional Moroccan Riads are more than just places to stay.
Cultural heritage and sustainable practices are steeped in Riads, and they reduce their environmental impact.
Energy efficiency is a top priority. Many Riads now are using renewable energy sources like solar panels to power their facilities and energy-saving appliances throughout their premises.Visitors can also help out by being mindful of their electricity usage during their stay. In short, staying at Riad Palais Amani is a win-win! Guests experience the authentic charm of Moroccan hospitality while actively supporting sustainable tourism efforts through water conservation, local sourcing and energy efficiency practices.
Additionally, local sourcing is a cornerstone of sustainability in Riads. By partnering with local farmers and artisans, Palais Amani ensures that its culinary offerings reflect regional produce while simultaneously supporting the local economy. We encourage guests to partake in meals made from fresh, locally sourced ingredients, thereby contributing to sustainable agricultural practices.
Using local materials is the best way to reduce the environmental impact of transporting materials over long distances. It helps to decrease carbon emissions and energy consumption, design for local cultural practices, weave traditional motifs into modern design, and collaborate with local artisans and employ local staff from the old medina.
