The origin of these traditional buildings ‘Riyadh’ dates back to the first Islamic country in Morocco, the state of Idris in the eighth century AD, and most of them have preserved this pattern with some minor modifications and renovations that are necessary from time to time and it is said that this style moved from the Mediterranean heritage from East of the Mediterranean to the Arab Maghreb in general, to become the Kingdom of Morocco is one of the incubators for the heritage of this Mediterranean architecture and transferred to Andalusia in the eighth century AD, so we note the presence of Riyadh in other names in Spain, especially Cordoba, Seville and Granada, as well as in Italy and some European countries And so it became The Moroccan Riad, with its Islamic motifs and its Levantine Basin, and its North African colors inspired by the ancient Berber culture, is a synthesized complex of many Mediterranean cultures, and a symbol of human urban development in general.
