Marrakech, MARRAKECH
After years of work, we finally open the doors of Dar Almoravide patiently renovated exclusively using traditional and noble materials: marble, zellige of Fez, cedar, tadelakt on the walls and wrought iron.
The house is the perfect choice for visitors in search of authenticity and want easy access to the main sights of Marrakech.
It is located in a quiet area of the Kasbah, in the heart of the old Medina, near the Saadian Tombs and El Badi Palace.
The Djemaa El Fna and the souks are just 10 min walk.
The house consists of 3 bedrooms each with a separate bathroom, two traditional lounges, a kitchen, a richly decorated patio, terrace with shaded seating and a second panoramic terrace.
The capacity is 7 persons. 70 euros per night for the use of a room (1 or 2 people). An extra fee applies from the 3rd person or for another room.
The rental price includes the airport transfer, and the services of a housekeeper.
Unique Moroccan experience. Riad was spacious and quiet, conveniently located, and our chef/guide/planner was extremely helpful and knowledgeable. Want to go back!!
Love being in the Riad. Very welcoming and pleasant
We had a second, shorter stay at this beautiful home and, just as with the first time, we hated to leave. We would highly recommend the property and hope to return in the future!
We couldn't have enjoyed our stay at this beautiful house more. It feels wonderfully Moroccan, is beautifully decorated, and the craftsmanship of the home is amazing. We were very comfortable, and the owners are great communicators - helpful and responsive. Another jewel in the crown of this lovely home is Hafida, one of the kindest and loveliest people we have ever met in our travels. She takes great care of this beautiful home. She provided wonderful breakfasts, and was so helpful with information about the area, assisting us with transport, and always making sure we were comfortable. We will never forget her! Rabia, Christophe, and Hafida, thank you for making our visit so delightful!
Rabia’s riad is lovely. Central but quiet, and cool downstairs which was great in 45 degree heat! Halfida was really helpful and attentive when we needed anything. She provided good breakfasts. The transfers were pre-organised which was super reassuring arriving in a new city. Would stay again.
Beautiful and clean property that you have all to yourself - no one else except your group/family/etc. Plenty of space, could easily sleep over a dozen people. A 10-minute walk to the main square (Jemaa el-Fnaa). The housekeeper, Hafida, made us dinner one night and it was fantastic. Strongly recommended accommodations!
We loved everything about our stay here. The home is beautiful, the location ideal and Hafida is a gem. She went over and above in answering our questions, booking a hamman and helping us arrange transport to our next destination. She even gave us an impromptu couscous cooking lesson and shared with us us harira. We look forward to a next visit.
This is an exceptional home - clean, comfortable, spacious, and in a great location. Hafida was so kind and welcoming. She helped us get oriented and made sure our early trip to the airport went off without a hitch. We wish we could have stayed longer.
This residence is a unique experience - situated in the midst of the old medina, it provides a calm, peaceful and comfortable environment. But above all, the host Hafida is the ultimate gift to any traveler. Her meals and her company are as sweet and savory as you could wish for. It was the place perfect place to land.
As a base for doing multiple side trips or to immerse yourself in Marrakech – or both -- you couldn’t choose a better whole-house vacation rental. Located in the kasbah, a quieter part of the medina, you can walk to all the old city sites: less than 10 minutes to Saadian Tombs and Badi Palace, 15 minutes to Bahia Palace and Dar Si Said, 22 minutes to Jemaa el-Fna and the souks, and a 15-minute cab ride to Jardin Majorelle. A local market is practically out the door and street food, good restaurants, cabs and carriages are nearby. The front door is nondescript and on one of the myriad small quiet side streets. The door opens almost directly into an open-to-the-sky courtyard – with a retractable roof. The kitchen, one small bedroom with full bath, a half bath, and a Moroccan-style sitting room are on this lowest floor surrounding the courtyard. Two bedrooms, both with full baths, are on the second floor (most couples will choose the more spacious one with Moroccan wooden doors facing the courtyard). On the third level is a half bath, a large sitting room with satellite TV, and access to a private deck. Up another level is the rooftop. Kids play outside the door but are quiet by 21:00 and the street is too small for traffic. Mosques are nearby so call to prayer is very noticeable, which we enjoyed. The home is clean, especially given that the roof is open to the sky in an air polluted city. Traditional wooden accents, tile, plaster work, and Moroccan furniture adorn the home. Everything is provided and functional as described, including wi-fi, heat, and air-con. And then there is Hafida. This joy of a traditional Moroccan woman is constantly smiling and freely offering information and conversation. Hafida lives nearby and checks in every morning after her kids are off to school. She cooks breakfast and will do laundry and cook extra meals for a modest cost. (Hafida’s couscous was awesome!) Please give Hafida our warmest regards when you visit: she is a gem. Rabia and Christophe checked in with us a few times before, during and after our visit. Both Hafida and Rabia were easily reached via WhatsApp. In short, this place is terrific. Take note, this home/riad is within the heart of the medina, the old walled city. If you are looking for a westernized hotel experience, choose an accommodation in the newer part of the city. Also, this home is traditionally designed with no windows facing the

It would be our second trip to Marrakesh and we were not disappointed. We tend to always go for riads to get a greater feel of the culture of the Moroccan people and like on our first visit the hospitality was brilliant. Kudos to Hafida- who cooked all our meals (which was delicious) and she even made us an almond cake . She was friendly and also suggested places for us to visit. She helped to arrange our transportation to Essaouira- which was a brilliant day out- Marhaba Hafida. Our riad was comfortable , clean and very spacious. Rabia - the property owner responded very quickly to any queries and was always available to communicate with. In all, it was a wonderful holiday and I would suggest that if you are planning a holiday in Marrakesh- TRY OUT A RIAD
Great location. Close to monuments and short walk to city center and the plaza
The raid stayed cool despite the high temperatures. Hafida is an absolutely terrific cook so take the opportunity to ask her to make dinner for you for a small price.
The property is located close to sites, but quieter and less touristy then other Riads. Hafida was there with local information on the city and Muslim culture. We don’t speak Arabic or French, but used apps to communicate. The space is beautiful with traditional tiling and wood carving. There are a variety of areas to enjoy in the house- two sitting rooms and two terraces.
