Absolutely fantastic. I would recommend to anyone wanting to stay in the heart of the souks. Lots of hustle and bustle all around but calming peace inside. The food was EXCELLENT, the best dinners we had while in Marrakech. Dura and Fadwa were Excellent. Amine made our holiday though, he was welcoming, kind, nothing was too much bother, and he taught us a lot of Arabic! We had an excellent stay.

Great place to stay in Marrakech

Had a wonderful few days staying at Riad Zarka. It is situated in the heart of the action, close to all the markets and yet very quiet and peaceful to relax and sleep. Simon went out of his way to look after me, even leaving out a flask of coffee and some breakfast for a 6am start for a tour.
