Dar Zaman
"A beautiful, intimate hideaway in the quieter reaches of the historical northern medina"
Dar Zaman
Four En-suite Guest Rooms
A beautiful, intimate hideaway in the quieter reaches of the historical northern medina, the warm service at Dar Zaman makes for an unforgettable stay.
Ideally located within easy walking distance of all of Marrakech’s main attractions including the famous Jemaa el Fna square, Dar Zaman offers four double en-suite air-conditioned rooms. Each room is uniquely designed and comes equipped with a hairdryer, a digital safe, complimentary designer toiletries, fine cotton linens and soft, fluffy towels as standard.
Opening onto the interior courtyard are two sitting rooms with open fireplaces, the perfect setting for a delicious home-cooked dinner on a winter evening. For the hot summer months, the dipping pool in the courtyard provides a refreshingly cool respite from the hot Moroccan sun.
Dar Zaman’s roof terrace boasts stunning views over the Marrakech medina rooftops, from which you can catch a glimpse of the Koutoubia minaret and, on clear days, the stunning snow-capped Atlas Mountains. It is the perfect spot to catching the hot Moroccan sun whilst relaxing with a book and drinking a traditional mint tea.
Every morning a sumptuous Moroccan breakfast is served either on the sunny terrace or downstairs by the fire depending on the season. Expect a wonderful selection of fresh bread, croissants and pastries from the bakery at the end of the street; crepes with jam; homemade yoghurt; eggs; fresh fruit; freshly squeezed orange juice, and tea and coffee. Delicious lunches and dinners can also be made to order.
Base prices are in Euro: Sterling, USD and Moroccan dirham rates will vary by exchange rate.

Trips and Excursions
From the world famous Souks to the ever-lively Jemaa el Fna square, and from the cultural heritage sites to world class museums, there is so much things to do and things to see in Marrakech.
Here at Hip Marrakech we also offer a variety of excursion and tours in and around Marrakech from day trips to the Atlas Mountains to day trips to the desert. Here are a few examples of the trips and excursions we offer:
Imlil, High Atlas
Also highly recommended is a trip to the high Atlas village of Imlil, gateway to the magnificent Jbel Toubkal crowning wonder of the Atlas range and the tallest mountain in North Africa.
Price: £62 for 1 to 4 people
Duration: A day trip of approximately 7 hours
Kasbahs
Ait Ben Haddou is a world heritage site that has been the backdrop to a remarkable 16 feature films including Gladiator, The Man Who Would Be King and Marco Polo.
The driving time is normally four to five hours covering 190 miles. Your party will have exclusive use of the vehicle and can vary the itinerary as you wish, the driver can recommend viewing points and stops along the way.
Price: £110 for 1 to 4 people
Duration: A day trip of approximately 10 to 11 hours
A night in the Desert
The desert is not so close to Marrakech, more than a hundred and fifty miles, and of course the Atlas mountain range sits in the way so the route to the Sahara at Zagara is seven hours drive. That makes a one-night excursion to the dessert a packed itinerary. Leave Marrakech at 8.00 am, drive down via Ait Ben Haddou stopping at its famous Kasbah then Ourzazate and on to Zagora.
Price: £248 for 2 people
Duration: A one night and two days excursion.
Even if you are not booking your accommodation through Hip Marrakech, you can book your trip an excursion with us here.

Dar Zaman
"We stayed at Dar Zaman for just one night but it was a great place to relax after a busy couple of days travelling around. It is located right in the middle of the Medina and the staff are very friendly and helpful!"
Matthew, London, UK
"The riad is beautiful and its location in the medina, but on the periphery, allows for all the wonders of being in the old city, but yet easy to find (once you've been there the first time) and more peaceful that some of the other areas near larger squares and traffic.
Peter is a great host, and makes a very good introduction to the riad and the medina upon arrival. Hassan and the house team make you feel at home...take the cooking class offered, its great fun and gives you fabulous recipes to take home and keep making the wonderful Moroccan food."
A Guest, San Diego, USA
"We cannot complement Peter, Hassan and the Team more for the way they looked after us including sorting out travel to and from the airport, organising day trips and very helpful directions in what is not the easiest city to find you around. We dined at the Riad on some nights and the standard of cooking is excellent. On each occasion we gave them free range to cook courses of their choice and were not disappointed. We couldn’t recommend it more highly."
Michael, Huntington, UK
"Dar Zaman was exactly what we needed. It's very centrally located and became our retreat and safe haven amidst the crazy medina. When we arrived we were greeted with mint tea and a full briefing on how to navigate the souks and the old town by Hassan. It's no easy task, but he walked us through landmarks to keep an eye out for and helped us prioritise what to see and do based on our interests. It felt like he definitely went above and beyond to make us feel welcome and at ease."
A Guest, California, USA
"Dar Zaman is a wonderful little riad in the heart of Marrakech. Peter and Hassan were wonderful hosts and nothing was too much trouble. The riad decor was very tasteful, the food was amazing, the roof terrace was a lovely place to relax after a full day of sightseeing. We would recommend this amazing place to anyone."
Emma, London, UK
"The free Hipmarrakech App has proved amazing for our clients. It gives them confidence to navigate the medina knowing they can always find their way back our house, even with NO data roaming switched on. Further it locates many restaurants in Marrakech that our guests like (some of which give discounts to those with the App), and then helps them find their way back to the riad easily. Further, they can also book excursions in or around Marrakech at short notice."
