7 Rue Lalla Hannou · Medina of Rabat
A small house in the medina, lit by coloured glass.
Fanous — lantern, in Arabic
Dar Al Fanouss is a guesthouse on Rue Lalla Hannou, open since 2025: white rooms with bright handira blankets, mint tea when you arrive, and breakfast up on the roof under a painted ceiling.
or book on Booking.com (opens in a new tab)Rooms
White rooms, loud blankets.
Four kinds of room, all compact, each with its own shower room, air conditioning, a fan, a TV and Wi-Fi. The walls stay white; the colour comes from the handira blankets and the coloured glass of the lanterns.
Breakfast upstairs
Breakfast is on the roof, under a painted ceiling.
At the top of the stairs, the terrace is roofed with painted wood — ochre, green and brown stars — above green ironwork, reed screens and mosaic tables. Breakfast is included: msemen and harcha, eggs, olives, cheese, jams, fruit, orange juice, coffee and mint tea.
And when you arrive, a glass of mint tea — often up here.
Breakfast upstairs
Inside no. 7
A tall house, climbed from the door to the sky.
The house goes up: a beamed corridor, a hall with a zellige fountain, a white stair with a green iron rail, the rooms, and at the very top, the roof.

In the medina
Close to the market, the Kasbah and the sea.
Marché Central is 320 m from the door, the Kasbah des Oudayas 820 m, the beach 980 m and Rabat-Ville station 1.1 km — as the crow flies.
Rue Lalla Hannou is a pedestrian lane just off Avenue Mohammed V, on the west side of the medina. Cars don’t come down it: a taxi leaves you a couple of minutes’ walk away, and the wrought-iron lantern over no. 7 marks the door.
