Dar Rita project has been created to provide the best in terms of Ouarzazate accommodation. The decoration of the house is in Moroccan style following the ambiance of many riads in Marrakech.

The house mixes objects from various countries of the world including Portugal, Mauritania, Iraq, Oman, Bulgaria, Turkey, etc. There is a vast library scattered around the house, table games, a computer, and even free fast wireless internet.

The area of ​​Ouarzazate where our traditional riad is located stands close to the river bank. It is a very interesting neighborhood, full of local life, inhabited by a community of Berber origin. Tassoumaat is the ideal place to feel how Moroccans live its daily life. This is one of the best places in Ouarzazate to interact with local people who still live according to their ancestors.

The atmosphere of Tassoumaat is very genuine, with children playing in the alleys, and women preparing bread in the communal oven. And of course, the architecture is also traditional, with houses being built with natural mud-based materials. Staying in a riad located in the heart of the local neighborhoods makes your trip much more interesting.

Dar Rita offers free wifi, authentic Moroccan cuisine and welcoming mint tea with delicious pastries. Although you don’t have a swimming pool, our potential can be seen in another way. We invite you to experience a less touristic approach to Ouarzazate. After you stayed in Ouarzazate with our company, you will always want to come back. Moroccan riads often offer desert tours from Marrakech that include other nice destinations around the country.
