A centuries old English owned riad in the heart of the Marrakech medina, Dar Zaman guesthouse is located within easy walking distance to the souks, hammams, Medersa Ben Youssef, Marrakech Museum and other places of interest, and just minutes from the famed restaurants of Dar Zellij and Dar Yacout. Tucked away at the end of a peaceful derb (cul-de-sac) away from the regular tourist trail and street noise, the riad is a true oasis of calm and serenity. Easily accessible by taxi, and there is secure parking just two minutes away.

We take great pride in providing discreet, first rate service, and our friendly team of Fatima, Hassan and Peter will do all they can to ensure your stay is an enjoyable and memorable one.

The only way to explore the medina is on foot. You will be competing with donkeys and scooters, but somehow everyone seems to blend and it works out! Close to the riad you will find numerous artisan shops, and 10 minutes away through the ancient streets, you will reach the main souks area (market stalls), and also the historic Medersa Ben Youssef (the religious school where students used to study the Koran), and the Museum of Marrakech.

The Jardin Majorelle is in the new town of Gueliz, about 25 minutes away, and well worth a visit. From there you can jump in a horse and cart to make a big tour of the ramparts (the great thick wall around that surrounds the medina), finishing up at the main square of Jemaa el Fna.

In the southern part of the medina you will find several historical sites - the Saadian Tombs are magnificent tombs from several centuries ago. Ancient palaces, such as Dar Si Said (which now houses the Museum of Moroccan Arts), El Bahia Palace and El Badii Palace, with its resident storks.

Dar Zaman can receive up to eight adult guests in its four double rooms.

You can rent a room or the entire riad exclusively.

Breakfast is offered free of charge and consists of freshly squeezed orange juice, tea and coffee, yogurt, eggs, and a wonderful selection of fresh bread, croissants, pastries and crepes with honey and jam.

“A Delight”
BonVoyageLondon, london, Nov 18, 2008

What a delight to have stayed at Dar Zarman with Peter as our Host.
Peter enabled us (mother and daughter) to make the most of Marrakesh giving us guidance to have the courage to explore with confidence even when we were lost and going around in circles, it added to the holiday.

You can rent a room or the entire riad exclusively. (Because of this, the availability calendar on this site may not show the property as fully booked very often. Please contact us if you are a small group/couple etc as chances are we may have a room for you)
