A centuries old English owned riad in the northern part of the Marrakech medina, Dar Zaman is located in the very authentic 'quartier' of Sidi Ben Slimane, close to the Sidi Ben Slimane mosque. Tucked away at the end of a peaceful derb (cul-de-sac) away from the regular tourist trail and street noise, the neighbours are regular Marrakechis who make their homes here. Easily accessible by taxi (taxi stops 2 minutes walk from riad) and an easy 10 minute stroll to the Medersa Ben Youssef, Marrakech Museum and entrance to the main Souks area.

Dar Zaman has been decorated and furnished exclusively by Marrakechi artisans, combining clean simplicity with traditional Moroccan craftsmanship. Centred around a peaceful interior patio with a plunge pool and trickling fountain, the riad offers four comfortable double bedrooms with en-suite bathroom and air conditioning. Both the salon and salle à manger have fireplaces, and a third smaller salon is equipped with satellite TV. Wi-fi is available throughout the riad.

The terrace offers the opportunity for sunbathing and lounging surrounded by olive, lemon and palm trees, hibiscus and jasmine, with views over the medina rooftops to the Koutoubia Mosque and on a clear winter day, stunning views of the High Atlas mountains in the distance.

Breakfast is included and consists of fresh orange juice, crépes, bread and croissants, homemade yoghurt, jams, mint tea and coffee. Lunch and dinner are available on request – delicious Moroccan cuisine including salads, tagines, tangias and couscous – we strongly recommend you savour one or both at least once! Tell us what you would like to try, or leave it to Fatima to surprise you. There are several options for dining – on the patio with fountain, al fresco on the terrace, or beside the crackling fireplace in the salon.

Dar Zaman can receive up to eight adult guests in its four double rooms. You can rent a room or the entire riad exclusively. An English speaking and English managed Marrakech riad, we also speak Français, Español and Português.
