In the distance, the peaks of the majestic mountains of the High Atlas . Dar 'Rabia is the ideal retreat from which to sit back and savour the spice of the souk.

The Marrakech region
Unchanged since the Middle Ages, Marrakesh's solid ramparts encircle and protect its mysterious labyrinthine medina, which hides sultans' palaces, the ornate mansions of rich merchants, and some of the most colourful bazaars in the Arab world. Late in the afternoon, Moroccans as well as foreigners crowd the Jem el Fna Square to hear storytellers and musicians perform, be wooed by herbalists and acrobats, and watch smoke rise from the outdoor food stalls as vendors whip up a wild array of fried fish, meats The Riad Dar 'Rabia is located near King Mohammed VI's palace in a well-lit, secure neighbourhood of the medina of Marrakesh. The area is easily accessible by car and there is 24hr car parking nearby. You are just a 7- minute stroll from the famous Jem El Fna Square and the Souks of the medina.Overlooking the Mamounia Gardens, the house is also in close proximity to 'Hivernage', where the majority of prestigious hotels are to be found.
