Dar El Menia is proud to sponsor The Best Overall Blog Category

Dar El Menia is proud to sponsor the Best of Morocco Blog Awards “Best Overall Blog” category. We are giving the winner a weekend getaway in the heart of the Fez Medina at our beautifully restored guest house. Winner of the Best Overall category will receive a room on the Friday and Saturday of their choice.

Dar El Meia

Dar El Menia lies in the heart of Fes (Fez) Medina, former imperial capital of Morocco and the world’s largest medieval medina. Fes is a UNESCO World Heritage Site but it is not a museum it is a living, breathing city and Dar El Menia provides the perfect luxurious base to begin exploring the old and the new. This dar, or courtyard house, is at least 250 years old and has recently been completely restored using local craftsmen, techniques and materials.

Situated adjacent to Talaa Kebira, the main artery of the walled city, Dar El Menia offers easy access to all major sites of interest, the water clock, tanneries, hammams, mosques and medersas as well as being perfectly placed to begin roaming the medina’s narrow car free streets, which contain all manner of crafts, markets, restaurants, cafés and personality.

We've spent time hiking, boating, shopping!, and hav […]
  • The End June 2, 2011
    I flew back to Seattle with the kids, alone, last week.  It took about 30 hours with layovers, and getting out of Morocco wasn't without d r a m a. I've been thinking about how this blog should end. With pictures... only words... nothing... Something should be said, but articulating is not always my strong suit. To save room on our carry-on luggage […]

  • Heavy Metal May 20, 2011
    During our two years here, I wanted to buy a metal light fixture. My friend T. had one and I secretly coveted it. There's really one place in Rabat that sells them, and they're not cheap. We're told the best metal work comes out of Fez, so I had been pricing the small chandeliers for years, trying to figure out how much a good price is.  With […]
  • Touring and tables May 18, 2011
    We really enjoyed our tour while in Fez and like any tour guide in Morocco he asked if there was anything we wanted to see in particular. Since we recently purchased a Moroccan table and know much of the pottery and mosaic work comes from Fez, we asked if there was a place that people go to see this made. The guide suggested we see the pottery school and sho […]
