Al Marqab means 'boat' in Arabic. It is a traditional Moroccan house decorated in 'riad' style. It is located in the Riad Zitoun Jedid, which is the most appreciated part of the Medina of Marrakech (the authentic old city). Founded by Vizier Ba Ahmad, who was the tutor of Sultan Moulay Abdelaziz, who was twelve years old, and the builder of the Bahia Palace as his personal residence. Al Marqab is in the front of the house, completely private, with a separate terrace, entrance, kitchen, and toilets. Traditional design, beautifully decorated, very well equipped, and very comfortable. The spacious apartment sleeps up to four people and is suitable for couples, families, and friends. A private terrace is a must to enjoy the sunrise and sunset with captivating open views over the Medina and the snow-capped Atlas Mountains behind.
I'm Fawzy, a very open-minded Moroccan who was born and has spent his entire life in Marrakesh. All of my guests, without exception, are warmly welcomed in my home, as they are in my hometown. I live in a personal private part of my property in the back, and I will be present to provide all necessary help and assistance to make your stay a success.
The district of ALMARKAB location is Riad zitoune jedid, the most secure part of the Medina by it’s proximity with the royal official residence, the 4th police district and the building of Marrakesh Medina commune. Surrounded by the highlights of marrakesh monuments and at a short walking distance from the main square Jema el-Fna which is the heart of the action in the city. The koutoubia mosque, Al Bahia palace, Ahmed Al Mansour palace, the old Jewish quarter, Dar Si Said museum, Tiskiwin museum , the moroccan culinary museum, and a several touristic attractions are within a short walking distance from of ALMARKAB.
