El Zohar

Lovingly restored, Riad El Zohar is a haven of peace yet is as close you can get to the heart of the Medina: the souks and the Jemaa el Fna square. There are 5 bedroom and a good-sized pool and a genuine warmth from the Moroccan staff

The main courtyard is dominated by the pool where you can enjoy a mint-tea or cold drink. There is a large dining area and salon (sitting room) off the patio. On the first floor there is a second salon and then on the roof a large sun terrace where you can eat or sun-bathe overlooking the Medina and the Atlas mountains.

El Zohar's chef Zineb can cook, on request, delicious dinners using fresh seasonal market produce. You can choose to dine by candle light on the roof terrace, in the patio or in the dining room. Cookery lessons are also available.

The location is right in the centre of the medina so all the main attractions are only a few minutes walk away, yet despite the central location it is a very quiet area - a perfect base for getting to know Marrakech. Reviews:

"A beautiful riad with really warm friendly staff, after a day in the souks it was lovely to retreat to the sanctity and calm of the riad and the beautiful deco made you feel like you were in 5 star luxury. Elias and his team do every thing they can to make your stay memorable. Highly recommended." Adam K. July, 2008

"The Riad was perfect and the staff couldn't do enough to make us feel comfortable and welcome - it was a very peaceful, exotic and romantic haven in the midst of the old Medina. We can't wait to return and would definitely choose Riad el Zohar as the location was amazing and it seemed a very "happy house". The dinner on our first night was wonderful in front of a roaring log fire, with an anniversary cake served as a surprise after the meal. Naima and Eradi were just charming, cheerful and always went the extra mile to help us." Roy and Jackie M. January 2009

"I had died and gone to heaven. I also think I ate the best meal of the entire holiday (which is saying something) here on our last night. The situation was perfect, the attention to detail in the rooms exceptional, the staff outstanding and the level of comfort and personal care (for want of a better word) stratospheric." Gilian S. April 2009

"Riad El Zohar was wonderful and fully met our expectations and more. This was further complimented by the excellent staff at the Riad who were on hand at all times of the day to ensure that our stay was enjoyable. " Marie S. November 2009
