“The BEST PLACE TO STAY IN MARRAKESH”
We got to the Medina just as it was getting dark and followed our friendly taxi driver into a crowded street. It was like some strange rush hour. Masses of moving people, but mixed with donkey carts, push barrows, weaving bicycles and buzzing mopeds. Deeper and deeper into the heart of the old city and my senses were working overtime, so much to see, so much to hear, so much to smell, and, whoops, ‘Pardonnez moi’, so much to avoid. We suddenly turned down a quiet back lane and found ourselves at Dar Najat. A lovely warm welcome, and then the beautiful courtyard and… It’s so quiet. I felt my worries melt away.
Our room was delightful, little alcoves set into the walls, tastefully lit and decorated, and as I later found out, with a comfortable bed, and cleaned and tidied every day. During a welcoming mint tea, the owner Olivier, kindly enthused us with the delights of Marrakesh, and as he explained about the wonders of the Call to Prayer, it suddenly started… Totally amazing! As was the evening meal of vegetable tagine. And breakfast on the sun drenched roof terrace is a perfect way to greet the day.
Dar Najat is a wonderful oasis of peace, yet so close to the lively hub of the old Medina. The staff are happy and helpful at all times and our stay in Marrakesh was enhanced to a magical level because of the unseen hard work that undoubtedly goes into the creation of such a wonderful place. Dar Najat, my soul thanks you. http://www.dar-najat.com

Thanks to our guests &friends for kind words about Riad Marrakech-Dar najat and Riad Bab Marrakech
Dar najat http://www.dar-najat.com
is run by Olivier the owner . It’s a lovely and intimate guesthouse with a great sun terrace and views over the Koutoubia Mosque. The service is impeccable and the ambience very relaxed. He is a very accommodating host, ready to help organise transfers/tours and offer advice on anything you might ask him about, great to chat to – he has led very varied and interesting live and enjoy sitting with his guests to chat. The atmosphere is very chilled out.
The room we had was comfortable and quiet; we got up when we felt like it and breakfast was served to suit us. There are only seven rooms available for rent at this riad which means it is very intimate. He has a second riad, dar bab marrakech http://www.riad-bab-marrakech.com
just up the road which is also lovely . The vibe is different at the two riads so it is nice to use the facilities of both.
We had a marvellous stay and wouldn’t hesitate to go back
We enjoyed a great table d’hote evening with the host and a group of guests from both Riads, and sampled a delicous Morroccan salad, Sardine dish,tagine of all kind, Morroccan crumble and pastries to go with the obligatory mint tea.
A beautiful and reasonably priced riad in a great location – 5 minutes walk from Jemaa el Fna.

This wonderful Riad Dar Najat is at the very heart of the historical part of Marrakesh, the Medina,
patrimony of the whole Humanity, according to UNESCO, being at the same time absolutely quiet.
We breathed the magic of this Riad http://www.dar-najat.com
when the colors of the sunset matched those of the lanterns, shaping on the walls and columns surrounding the courtyard patterns of imaginary figures reminding us the marvels of The Arab Nights, told the Sultan by the daughter of the Grand Visir.
The magic and beauty of the Riad atmosphere is largely due to the charm of Olivier the owner, and to the delicacy of the whole staff. We will remember forever the dinner with OLivier in his new riad bab marrakech tasting excellent taijines prepared by the staff of the Riad http://www.riad-bab-marrakech.com
The luxury rooms, each different from the others, make you part of the wonders of this
magic city. Dar najat thus helps the guest to enter immediately the atmosphere and beauty of Marrakech.
We thus advise smart and bright travellers in Morocco, to take advantage of the enchantment of those Riads
