Spot the Difference

Some before and after photos of Dar Mystere, the 'befores' are from November 2006 prior to any renovation work, and the 'afters' are from earlier this week.

There's still a small amount of work to do before the house is ready for guests - a retractable halqa cover (to keep the rain out of the centre of the house), a new back door although we are hoping the original can be saved. The finishing touches, such as sumptuous drapes and huge brass lamps will be done in December along with as many plants as we can get our hands on.

There are 3 double bedrooms, one with en suite with another bathroom on the ground floor. There's a simple kitchen on the ground floor with hob and large fridge freezer. On the terrace there is another kitchen with a washing machine and another small fridge (eventually).

The main terrace area is secluded with another higher area above the terrace kitchen for views to the Tombs of the Merenides and Mount Zalah.

Dar Mystere is 3 minutes walk from the hustle and bustle of Bab Boujloud (the Blue Gate), but is set back on a cul-de-sac so is very quiet at night.
