Hidden in the heart of the medina since the Saadian period and a stone's throw from the main square, lies the oldest riad in the medina


dar cherifa marrakech Dating from the 15th century, this riad will dazzle you by its pureness and elegance with its spacious patio and antique doors and stucco.
It's a place that hasn't moved with time, a real haven of peace and serenity where one can just forget daily pressures – a quiet space just a moment away from the surrounding lively and animated medina.

This exceptional house, restored with passion has become the first literary café of the medina – a place entirely dedicated to promote Moroccan culture and heritage.

All year round, Dar Cherifa organises numerous art exhibitions (paintings, sculptures, photographs, mosaics etc.) as well as themed cultural evenings of poetry or different concerts.

Dar Cherifa is an ideal place in which to organise business conferences, symposiums or seminars.

After the hustle and bustle of the souks, we offer visitors a moment to relax in a beautiful and serene environment called Dar Cherifa where you can just sit and stay for as long as you like just drinking fruit juices or mint tea accompanied by some Moroccan pastries. For those with more of an appetite, we offer a light and simple lunch menu (traditional Moroccan). Come and try every Friday our couscous – it's the best couscous in the medina!

Dar Cherifa, this extraordinary historic property, is also an ideal venue for organising special events and is used for weddings, birthdays, gala dinners or private dinners. Please contact us for more details, we will organise the evening of your dreams.

Spend a moment at Dar Cherifa – like going back in time, a break from city noise and life, and discover a unique place where beauty, tranquility and meditation are our favourite words!
