Riad Marrakech

Stayed in Riad Dar Najat for only one night, because our previous Marrakech riad, Riad Celia, was full. My husband and I were travelling with two teenage daughters. We loved Celia but Dar Najat was even better. It is smaller than Celia with only a handful of rooms but the atmosphere was wonderful. The rooms were small but beautifully decorated. The lighting and artwork are fabulous. The roof terrace is a great spot to relax and get away from the wild wackiness of Marrakech. The owners are on site — Olivier, the husband is French and speaks excellent English, and his wife is Morocccan. Olivier was very helpful getting us transportation out of Marrakech.

Breakfast on the terrace was wonderful — fresh squeezed orange juice, cafe au lait, french baguette and jam and pain chocolate!!!! This was perhaps the most relaxing spot we found in Morroco. Our daughters loved playing with Olivier’s puppy on the terrace. The views of the mountains from the roof were super.

Only problem — had to fiddle with the hot water — kept getting cold but if you turn it off then on it comes back hot. (This was a common issue in most of the Morrocan hotels we stayed in).

You will need help to find the place the first time — it is in a small lane off other small lanes in the medina — but when you get there it feels wonderful!!!!

Whichever riad you choose — and Dar Najat is a great choice — stay in the medina not the new city. The atmosphere is unforgettable.
