About this property

Entire place

You'll have the entire home to yourself and will only share it with other guests in your party.

Family friendly, private Riad in the Heart of the Medina

Dar Beit Zellij will captivate you with its bright courtyard, relaxing family room, 3 comfortable, ensuite bedrooms, and a sunlit terrace with breathtaking mountain views.

When you leave the quiet elegance of your home-away-from-home, you're steps away from adventure: a 7 minute walk to the sights, smells, and sounds of the Jamaa el Fna square; a 9 minute walk to the majestic Bahia Palace, and a 15 minute walk to the iconic Koutoubia Minaret. Afterwards, relax with a cool drink on the terrace.....

Such a good time! The riad was very comfortable and well-located, but our host and his team really stood out, especially with connecting us to guides that were instrumental in making our trip special. Highly recommend,

Dar Beit Zellige was such a nice Riad experience for us: comfortable rooms; lots of space; interesting art collected by the hosts. What makes everything work so well is Omar, the local manager. He is absolutely delightful! He arranged tours, dinners, day trips, breakfast and is just so thoughtful and professional.

Great cultural experience in the Old Medina

This was my family's first time in Morocco. The home was exactly as pictured and the artwork even more beautiful in person. Omar, the property manager, was very attentive. He made sure we were comfortable, responded to unexpected things that occurred quickly, and ensured our trip was enjoyable. His wife Nora made us wonderful local breakfasts at a reasonable price. Omar arranged our private transportation and we used the service of Mohammed and his brother Younes the entire time we were there. The neighborhood was bustling with activity but safe. The riad experience in a walled city is like no other. We definitely felt immersed in the culture which is what we wanted.The third bedroom is accessed via the roof and though it was safe my 9yo wasn't comfortable sleeping there by himself - better suited for adult(s) traveling together but requiring personal space.

Amazing stay

We could not have picked a better house or location. The house is within walking distance to all attractions in the area including the Souq and the square and the two palaces.Check in process was easy. Omar is a great house manager. He had a taxi meet us at the airport and met us at the house. Very responsive and helpful. The house is real nice with plenty in of room. Everything is available so no need to buy anything. Highly recommended . Always felt safe and everyone is very friendly.

Amazing location close to Jemaa el-Fna square

We booked 3 nights at Dar Beit Zellij and loved getting to know Marrakesh. The Medina and Souks are a short walk away. After long days exploring it was great to come back to a relaxing living room and air conditioning. ;) They have a welcome book full of great recommendations as well. Omar is the real star of the riad. He goes above and beyond to help with recommendations, transportation - anything you need. Never having been to Marrakesh before we had a ton of random questions and he was so patient with us. He made our trip so special.

Lovely Riad

We had a great time at the Riad. Easy to walk every where in the Medina and a long list of recommandations for dinner ready for the guests. After mind day of visiting it was always so nice to relax on the roof of the Riad listening to the noises of the city. All was perfect and hope to come back soon.Thank you.
