    Staff was great. Room was clean and a great size. Pool looked really good but too cold for a swim. Internet was sufficient. Breakfast was pretty good. Location is in the “new city”, maybe a 25 minute walk from the Medina. More modern area,...

    Friendly staff who were very helpful. The room was very large and had a great amount of space for us to play games and hang out. The swimming pool was right outside our room. My kids loved playground with the dogs as well.

Company info

Your host is a connoisseur of Oriental art who has been working for 30 years as a tourist guide and who has a perfect knowledge of the fields of interest and the expectations of his American, European and other foreign guests thanks to his huge experience. Having led groups for more than 20 years all over Morocco he began some ten years ago to realize a wish that had been slowly ripening in his mind through the years: he wants to offer his guests more than just a superficial - unfortunately often distorted - view of his country and of its culture. Jalil El Hayar, your host, collected works of art from all parts of Morocco with the skilled eye of an expert. From works of art by modern Moroccan painters such as Kacimi, Fouad Belamine, Miloud, Bennani and Belkahya, through old textiles from Tetouan and tribal rugs to antique and modern items of ceramic art as well as wood and leather you will find in Dar Ziryab a rich variety of Moroccan treasures.

Property info

You will live in a private home, decorated in traditional Andalusian and Moorish and built around a patio covered with a dome carved cedar wood. Dar Ziryab is not a traditional hotel where you are dealing with a professional cold and impersonal, it's a small "palace" designed guest house where you will be welcomed in a family atmosphere. In DAR ZIRYAB, you can make your dream become reality. We invite you to spend an unforgettable time in Fes, in the very heart of Morocco, where you will be received according to the ancient Oriental rules of sacred hospitality, without having to miss out on modern Western comforts.
