Dar Hafsa, Guest house in the medina of Fès, Morocco.
Dar Hafsa is a guest house in the medina of Fès with traditional Moroccan riad architecture and private rooms arranged around central courtyards featuring intricate zellige work, carved woodwork, and decorative fountains. The building combines historical features with modern amenities including air conditioning and free Wi-Fi.
The building dates from an era of traditional urban architecture and has been preserved over centuries while gradually updated with modern conveniences. This combination shows how old houses in the medina have adapted to life today without losing their original structures.
The house displays handcrafted work from Morocco through zellige mosaics, decorated plasterwork, and traditional furnishings made from local materials that reflect regional artistic traditions. These elements are visible throughout and show how local craftspeople pass down their skills.
The guest house is near major sites like Bou Inania Madrasa and Chouara Tannery, reachable on foot from the property. The narrow streets of the medina require good walking shoes and time to explore, as navigation can be challenging at first.
Staff members share historical stories about the building and organize cooking experiences with traditional tagines and couscous prepared using authentic Moroccan recipes and local ingredients. These culinary offerings give visitors insight into the region's everyday food culture.
