Morocco Dar Nour | Urbane Nomads

Overview

Dar Nour was the first guest house to open in Tangier. Opened in 1999, Dar Nour is a genuinely beautiful, old Kasbah house, built on different levels, filled with nooks and crannies, and restored with a true feeling for beauty and simplicity. Dar Nour means « the house of light », and the aim was to accent the sunlight playing on the whitewashed walls. The travel guide Géo , and French magazines such as Le Point, Capital, L’art de voyager, and Jalouse all agree that it is the top place to stay in Tangier. Other international magazines such as Elle, Travel Leisure, Gente Viaje, Le goût de Tanger, and Numéro have all written articles about Dar Nour. Artists, intellectuals, writers, and film makers have stayed there and found it to be an inspiring place.

Works well as a base for luxury, high-end travellers to Morocco.

Accommodation
11 individually themed rooms. The faris room for instance, has walls painted in Marrakech pink. It is the most oriental, mysterious and feminine of all the rooms at Dar Nour. It has two small arches, and cedar-wood panelling

Dining
In a few short years Dar Nour has gained a reputation for offering some of the best Moroccan cuisine in Tangier.

In house chef Abdellatif, honed his cooking skills with the women who worked here before. Little by little, he and Philippe, the owner, have taken a different approach, and created new dishes which retain the subtleties of the Moroccan use of spices. You will have the chance to taste courgettes sautéed with khlii, or skate tajeen with beans, and will find other delights on the menu such as soufflés with date liqueur and Andalusian custards.
