Dar Charkia

Six En-suite Guest Rooms

Dar Charkia is a luxury guesthouse based in the heart of the Marrakech medina. Finished to the highest specifications of comfort, Dar Charkia’s style blends an enchanting mix of Asian design and African aesthetics.

Located only 50 metres to a road access and taxi drop off point and steps away from many of Marrakech's finest restaurants and the sights, smells and sounds of the renowned Place Jmaa el Fnaa, this riad is situated in a quiet corner of Bab Doukkala and functions as an oasis of calm amidst the vibrant cacophony of the Marrakech medina.

Each of the individually decorated suites feature an en-suite bathroom, air-conditioning and heating, and many with their own fireplace.

Dar Charkia has many quiet corners where guests can relax: the riad’s extensive roof terraces offers stunning views of the seven mosques of Marrakech and the Atlas Mountains, alternatively the pool in the patio acts as the perfect space to unwind after a long day negotiating the souks. Guests can also enjoy a massage in the privacy of your own room.

Marrakech is many different things to different people, but whatever you are hoping to experience here, Dar Charkia is the perfect base to discover the secrets of red city.

Base prices are in £Sterling.: Euro, USD and Moroccan dirham rates will vary by exchange rate.

Eating at Dar Charkia

Moroccan food is often described as some of the best in the world, and the authentic delights on offer at Dar Charkia will not disappoint.
Breakfastis a lavish but low-key affair, where guests are treated to an array of delectable goodies. The chef's mouthwatering offerings include homemade pancakes, fresh fruit salad and a range of light pastries.

Lunch and evening meals are no less impressive, offering a fantastic fusion of Moroccan and European cuisine. Specialities include carrot, cumin and coconut soup; coriander and sweetcorn cakes; vegetable terrine with pear; lamb tagine with prunes; and chocolate tart with baked fruit.

Meals can be taken either in the dining room, the courtyard, in the Pavillion tent, or on the wonderful sun terrace overlooking the city. A selection of fine imported wines, locally produced beer, water and soft drinks are available.

Dar Charkia

There are many interesting and important landmarks within easy walking distance of Dar Charkia.

For instance the Riad is 1 minute from the Palace of Dar El Bacha, 3 minutes from Dar Donab where the last of the Gnaoui kings resided, 8 minutes from the Museum of Marrakech and Medersa ben Yousef, the koranic school and 4 minutes from Cafe Arabe and Terrasses des Epices where you can get a lovely long cool drink and watch the sun go down over the roof tops of the medina.

Dar Charkia is a 6 minute walk from the world famous Jemma El Fna and all the hustle and bustle that it has to offer, but located far away enough to enjoy the calm and tranquility of the surroundings of the riad. There is a local communal oven nearby, with smells of homemade bread and pastries wafting through its front door, the famous home of furnishing emporium of Mustapha Blaoui whose pieces have decked most pages of many Conde Naste publications, a great local barber and 6 minutes walk from the great roof top restaurant Jardins de Bala overlooking the main square.
