“AN AMAZING EXPERIENCE AT RIAD DAR NAJAT!”

“ A genuine 5 star experience ”, a photo by darnajat on Flickr.

The start of 2012 came with a pleasant surprise, a trip to Marrakech, Morocco with my younger brother Jeff, who you can find below. Upon arrival into this beautiful culturally rich city, we were brought to the Riad Dar Najat, which we found using this website after reading so many fine reviews. We were immediately surprised to find that not only was the decor of the riad young and hip and fun, but so were the employees. We were brought to the roof of the riad and sat in the sun looking over the buildings, while they made us the perfect mint tea to complement the already surreal relaxation we were feeling. Oliver and his staff had already made us feel at home within 30 or so minutes from the time we arrived.

The first night we were told that we would be fed by them. and not knowing what to expect, we were brought the finest meal of the entire trip. It was a lemony spicy chicken tagine, with delicious perfectly spiced veggies, salad and fresh bread, and it was absolutely delicious. We actually ordered the same meal for our final night.

They had already surprised us with their hospitality and delicious food, and to make things even more convenient, they knew of all the fun and exciting places to visit in the old city and the surrounding areas. After setting us up with their drivers, we were also able to take a day trip to the atlas mountains where we drank tea under waterfalls. And the next day they brought us to their other Riad in Essaouira, where we sat on the roof overlooking the water.

It was an absolutely incredible trip. We finished the trip off in Barcelona and Madrid, but nothing could compare to the fun we had with the people at Riad Dar Najat. If we could have stayed longer we would, and another visit is absolutely necessary. THANK YOU RIAD DAR NAJAT!! You went above and beyond our expectations.
