Marrakech - Stay in the heart of the Medina Authentic traditional and intimate Moroccan Dar from the beginning of the 19th century in the heart of the Medina in Marrakech. It is quietly located and less than 10 minutes walk from the main sites to see. Recently renovated and embellished with its central stone and zellige fountain in a pretty tree-lined patio, the charm of its oriental plaster ornaments and its ocher earthen walls works with magic. Its multiple relaxation areas on the patio and on the terrace in a warm oriental atmosphere will make your stay very pleasant. The Dar Al Hayat has 2 triple suites and 2 double bedrooms, all air-conditioned and heated, each with their own private shower room. The uniquely decorated accommodations invite its guests to an encounter with traditional Moroccan art and modern comfort. Meals are served in our dining room on the patio or on the sunny terrace. The Moroccan and continental breakfast is varied every day, served with fresh seasonal fruit juice. Many tea rooms invite you to relax and chat. Moroccan couples are required to present a marriage certificate upon arrival. Entry is also prohibited to any outside person not concerned by the reservation.
My dear guests, Welcome to Dar Al Hayat in Marrakech! It will be a great pleasure to welcome you to our recently renovated riad. I have been working in guest house tourism for 6 years and I have always enjoyed the contact and exchanges with our customers from all over the world. For our first riad, I then paid particular attention to the decoration and the atmosphere so that our guests would feel at home in a Moroccan house. Added to this, I wanted to bring to the stay of my future guests by offering all the modern comforts in each room, with its private shower room, reversible air conditioning and very comfortable bedding, and a double living room and dining room for more relaxation.
The dar Al Hayat is very well positioned just 10 minutes walk from the main tourist sites such as the Jamaa El Fna square, the Majorelle garden and the souks of the Medina. Very quiet and close to the popular food market, the Bab Doukkala area is very popular with tourists. A supermarket is also less than 10 minutes away on foot. You will be able to park in one of the two paid private car parks located less than 5 minutes away on foot.
