Douiria

A private apartment within a Moroccan dwelling, given a separate entrance and intended to receive visitors other than close relatives. The douiria typically gathers a few rooms, a lounge and a private terrace, set apart from the family quarters. These self-contained units, rediscovered in certain historic Marrakech riads, inspire the layout of discreet, autonomous suites in Eastern heritage hospitality, where privacy and independent access are prized by guests.
