Riad Dar Fakir, Marrakech, Morocco

Dar Fakir offers guests a wonderful tranquil ambience away from the busy streets of Marrakech Medina. The 7 rooms and suites situated around the inner courtyard are elegantly furnished and decorated, and all en-suite and with A/C. Breakfast and dinners are served on the terrace. Listen to the trickle from the fountains or sit in the shade of the olive trees and feel at home.

Dar Fakir is a Riad de Charme located just 3 minutes’ walk from Djema el Fnaa square. It reopened at the beginning of 2011 to visitors after a complete refurbishment. We differ from other Riads in the sense that we offer an extensive service other Riads don’t, including not only the normal cooking courses but yoga, artisanal workshops and a very intimate service bordering onto concierge at very affordable rates. We provide extras such as a meet and greet throughout your stay if required by our security guard during the evenings and at night. Mobile phones are provided to guests on request and are free of charge during their stay. We spend a lot of time with the guests making them feel not only welcome in the Riad, but also at home in the hectic maze of the Marrakech Medina. In total, 5 languages are spoken in the Riad - English, German, Swedish, French and the local Arabic, Darija.

The rooms all have individually embroided bed linen made from Egyptian cotton. The toiletries provided by Sence de Marrakech are shower gel, body lotion, shampoo and hand soap. For the Suite we can provide black soap and a Gommage flannel.

All rooms and Suites are decorated in elegant beige Tadelakt on the walls as well as in the bathrooms. The floors have terracotta Zellige. Rooms and Suites are furnished with dark wood furniture in traditional Berber style. In addition, the suites will have beautiful leather clad writing desks that tastefully match the decor. You will experience the ambience of the Arabian night in the evening when the handcrafted lamps and lanterns cast magical shadows on the walls.
