Dar Namir is a cooking school with rooms available as a whole house in the heart of the Andalous Quarter of the ancient Fez medina. The house is a traditional medina house and approximately 450 years old. Our restoration of it took four years and we have kept as many of the original features as possible in order to show as much of the house's history as possible. Among them you'll see original hand-cut floor tiles (zellige), ancient cedar wood doors and ceilings, and traditional wrought iron-work. Located less than 5-minutes-walk from the nearest taxi the house is well located for the famous fresh produce market at r'Cif; the legendary copper beaters souk on the Place Seffarine; the mythic tanneries at Chouara (recently restored); carpet shops piled floor to ceiling with ancestral rugs...Dar Namir is a cooking school with rooms available as a whole house in the heart of the Andalous Quarter of the ancient Fez medina.

Located less than 5-minutes-walk from the nearest taxi the house is well located for the famous fresh produce market at r'Cif; the legendary copper beaters souk on the Place Seffarine; the mythic tanneries at Chouara (recently restored); carpet shops piled floor to ceiling with ancestral rugs and the maze-like souks themselves where you can pick up anything from butter soft leather babouches (slippers), to antique embroidered table cloths, to traditional ceramics. You'll see many of these items at Dar Namir and all items are for sale. Please get in touch with us directly for prices. The house is arranged around a central courtyard turned spacious dining room (seats 8) and open-plan kitchen with a range stove (gas top, electric oven). A large, open-atrium is above it (covered in the winter, shaded but open to the sky in the summer) that allows light to flood into the house. Off the courtyard you'll find one ensuite, double bedroom and a living room with honesty bar. On the first floor there's a reading balcony, another ensuite bedroom and a TV lounge (well stocked with films) that converts into a twin or double room. All bedrooms have heating and fans. On the roof there's a breakfast kitchen and terrace with fabulous views over the Fez medina. A lovely spot for breakfast most days of the year. Our housekeeper Rachida comes in every morning at 10am to make breakfast and tidy round. If you would like any additional traditional Moroccan meals, extra housekeeping or babysitting services, please just drop us a line and we're happy to arrange it for you. Likewise we are delighted to help with restaurant reservations, sightseeing tours, design and architecture tours, tasting trails, wine tastings, personal shopping, cultural activities and day trips. We also offer live-in, immersion cooking classes at the house. Just drop us a mail and we'll get back to you with options. Dar Namir is a great option for adventurous travelers who love exploring, adore food and cooking, and are keen to enjoy the lifestyle of a traditional medina house in Fez. Más
