Bargain Medina house for sale just off the Marrakech Souks. Hidden in a quiet, clean street just off a busy souk is this tiny gem. Built on a very old site close to what was once the centre of the old medina of Marrakech, this two storey Dar could be a beautiful pied-à-terre or perhaps suit a potential commerical use as a gallery or cafe.
A beautiful medina street just off the souk
The structure has been rebuilt at some time in the past few years, which means that you wouldn’t have to worry about architectural heritage when making alterations – it’s a potentially blank canvas for your imagination.
The central atrium is open to the sky
On the ground floor you’ll walk into the central courtyard, with an atrium open to the roof. Off the courtyard there’s a traditional Moroccan salon, a room currently used as a bedroom, and a kitchen.
The ground floor salon
On the upper floor the bathroom is finished in tadelakt polished stucco – a traditional finish for the Moroccan hammams – and a bedroom. There’s a balcony running around the atrium, leading to the access hatch to the flat roof; there’s plenty of space to arrange proper access to a potential roof terrace.
The central atrium on the upper level
This area of the medina is the heart of Marrakech; the city’s first mosque was built in the vicinity in 1071, with the Emir personally mixing the mortar with his own hands. It was only in the late 12th century that the Almohad dynasty built the Koutoubia mosque to the south, in an attempt to move the centre of the city to the south.

The main bedroom
The area had a renaissance under the 16th century Saadian dynasty, who rebuilt the mosque, the stunning Ben Yusef Medersa (open to the public), and the famously elaborate Shrob ou Shouf (literally drink and look) public fountain – but the architectural jewel in the crown is the Almoravid Quabba, built in the early 12th century (and also open to the public) which is a very short walk from the house.
