Dar El Assafir

Dar el Assafir is a traditional guest-house built within the old Medina walls in the Bar Doukala region of Marrakech, only 15 minutes walk from the entertaining Djemmaa el-Fna. Behind the impressive ochre walls you will find a traditional Moroccan home, set around two courtyards. One contains a mosaic-decorated swimming pool with a spacious area for relaxation, or enjoying your meals. The other courtyard unveils a small, bright exotic garden. Inside the walls of the Dar El Assafir it is remarkably peaceful, with only the birds breaking the silence with their cheerful chattering. Translated into English ‘Dar El Assafir’ means the ‘House of birds’.
 
There are six rooms, all decorated differently with their own charm and style, while each one looks out onto one of the courtyards. In addition, there is the ‘Swallow Apartment’, which comprises of three bedrooms and two bathrooms, making it ideal for families or small groups. There is a comfortable and cosy sitting room and dining room. Most stays are on a bed and breakfast basis (to enable you the freedom to enjoy a number of Marrakech’s fabulous restaurants), but it is also easy to arrange evening meals within the guesthouse. From the ochre red roof terrace, you can enjoy the views and gentle hum of the ancient city, while in the evening, the stunning sunset should not be missed.
