Dar Daïf


The Hotel

Dar Daïf is Zineb and Jean-Pierre Datcharry´s life dream, on the outskirts of Ouarzazate it is a refuge of silence. Dar Daïf has been given quality seals such as Clef Verte or the HACCP certificate for Food Hygiene. This is a meeting point for adventurers at the edge of the desert, families who are not contempt with Marrakech and cinema lovers, looking for sceneries of films like Gladiator, Lawrence of Arabia and many more. The building respects a Berber atmosphere in its architecture, in its cooking as well as in details such as offering babouches (Moroccan slippers) to wear inside. The hotel has evocative rooms, like a suite with a hammam like bathroom, with green and brown Tamegroute tiles as in most of the building. From our room we can spot the town, and in between, fields combining maize, pomegranate and henna, among palm trees scattering the landscape.
