“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
