Guesthouse in Gueliz, Marrakech
Araf House
A quiet base with the Majorelle Garden among its nearest sights
Photos: Booking.com
Overview
The Majorelle Garden, with its cobalt-blue villa and cactus beds, is one of the most visited places in Marrakech, and Araf House names it as one of its nearest sights. The other landmark the property mentions is the Orientalist Museum, so this is a stay pitched at travellers who want gardens and galleries as much as souks.
The listing is general beyond that. It describes a quiet, comfortable house with Moroccan architectural touches and says it has easy transport links to the Medina. Room facilities aren't detailed, so look at the room descriptions on the booking partner's site before you choose.
Highlights
- Close to the Majorelle Garden, according to the property
- The Orientalist Museum also named as nearby
- Quiet setting for a restful night
- Transport links into the Medina
Location
The two landmarks the listing names are in different districts: the Majorelle Garden is in Gueliz, outside the walls, while the Orientalist Museum is inside the northern Medina. No address is given, so check the map on this page to see which side of the walls Araf House is on before you book.
Either way, the Majorelle Garden and the neighbouring Musée Yves Saint Laurent make a good half-day, and petits taxis link the new town with the Medina gates.
Good to know
- The Majorelle Garden is popular, and timed tickets are often sold online; check the current arrangements before you go.
