A riad or riyad (Arabic: رياض, romanized: riyāḍ, lit. 'gardens') is a type of garden courtyard historically associated with house and palace architecture in the Maghreb and al-Andalus. Its classic form is a rectangular garden divided into four quadrants by two paved paths intersecting in the center, where a fountain is typically situated.
