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.
