FAQS
How much cash should I bring?
It is useful to have euros on hand, as many shops in the souks will not accept cards. On our first trips to the souks we will stop at an atm if you would prefer to take cash out then.
Is there wifi?
Wifi is available throughout the riad.
Weather:
Daily Temperatures average 77º F. Evenings are always cooler around 52-55º so we suggest to bring layers. April is the ideal season in Marrakech!
Meals:
All food preferences will be accounted for, please be sure that they were communicated in your booking form or sent to Michelle ASAP.
Yoga mats
Please plan to bring your own yoga mat for this retreat. Don’t fret — there are many great foldable travel mats available, or you’re welcome to bring your favorite mat and carry it on with your luggage.
Vaccines:
Please visit the CDC's website for any suggested vaccines. Daybreak Wellness does not require you to get any prior to departure, but if you feel like it's something you want, choose at your own discretion.
Electronics:
1. A European outlet converter is needed. 2. For any appliances such as a hair curler/straightener, they will need to be “Dual Voltage” or European specific, as using any other voltage can cause damage or become a fire hazard. There are hairdryers in each room.
Location:
Nestled within the heart of Marrakech’s historic medina, Maison Dar Saada offers a peaceful and secure retreat tucked just beyond the city’s vibrant streets and souks. Its central location allows us to fully immerse ourselves in the energy and culture of Marrakech while also serving as the perfect home base for day trips to the Agafay Desert and Atlas Mountains.
OUR LOCATION
Marrakech, Morocco • Maison Dar Saada
Tucked within the heart of Marrakech’s historic medina, Maison Dar Saada offers a luxurious and welcoming sanctuary just a short walk from the iconic Jemaa el-Fnaa Square. Blending traditional Moroccan craftsmanship with refined modern comforts, the riad features beautifully appointed rooms, multiple balconies overlooking the medina, inviting gathering spaces, and a stunning rooftop terrace where we can take in the sights, sounds, and sunsets of Marrakech from above.
While immersed in the vibrant energy of the city, Maison Dar Saada feels remarkably peaceful, offering a sense of calm, privacy, and security. With 24/7 on-site staff and security, guests can fully relax and settle into the experience, knowing they have a comfortable retreat to return to after each day’s adventures.
Its central location makes Maison Dar Saada the perfect home base for our week together. From exploring the winding souks and hidden corners of the medina to venturing into the Agafay Desert and Atlas Mountains, we’ll have easy access to both the rich culture of Marrakech and the breathtaking landscapes beyond. Whether sipping mint tea on a balcony, gathering for meals with new friends, or unwinding on the rooftop beneath the evening sky, Maison Dar Saada invites us to experience the beauty, hospitality, and magic of Morocco.

Local Guide - Omar
Born and raised in Morocco, Omar brings a deep love and understanding of his homeland to our Marrakech retreat. I had the pleasure of meeting Omar while attending a retreat with Arrow Yoga in 2025, and it was immediately clear why so many people are drawn to him. Warm, welcoming, and incredibly knowledgeable, Omar has a way of making everyone feel like an old friend. His local insight, genuine hospitality, and passion for sharing Moroccan culture will add so much depth and richness to our experience together. We are grateful to have him guiding us throughout this journey!
OPTIONAL ADD ONS
PHOTOGRAPHY SESSION/ $200
A 30 minute solo photo session with our professional photographer, Julie. You chose your location, your vision and discuss with Julie in person to have it come to life! You will have access to all photos on the trip, but this is the perfect way to step into the spotlight (or shine on your own just for you!)
Additional activities can be booked on our free day, including spa treatments at the riad.
These optional add ons can be booked in advance by emailing Michelle, or on request with 24 hour advance notice during the trip.
At BE Agafay for our desert day, the spa has a wide variety of treatments that can be booked, as well as many excursions to fill your need for adventure. A la carte options such as horseback riding, camel rides and quad excursions can all be arranged within 24 hours or ahead of the trip (I will personally be arranging horse back riding for myself at sunset for those who want to join!)
