medinal
Telling before selling
medinal is an editorial platform devoted to Morocco. We pick a small number of houses, encounters and objects, and we take the time to describe them.
We are not a marketplace of brands. Every page is written, every partner is introduced through their work and their own words, and nothing is promoted in exchange for payment.
Three doors organise the site: staying in a riad, experiences led by the people who live them, and the artisans’ souk. A journal ties them together and gives the context.
The platform is being built. What you read here describes what exists today, with no promises beyond that.
What we do
Four doors, one standard
Riad stays
Houses presented through their history, their architecture and the voice of those who run them.
Experiences
Short encounters, in small groups, led by cooks, artisans and guides.
Artisan souk
Handmade objects, sold with the name of the workshop and the material used.
Journal
Long form writing on cities, crafts and customs, with no forced commercial link.
