The common areas and reception revisit the “Moorish cafés”

that were to be found in the inns and caravanserais of olden times.

     - These shelters then allowed caravaneers and travelers to halt on their journey, drop off their saddles,

      luggage and weapons, in order to rest and exchange…

     - After grooming the animals, nursing a wound or having a hot bath, they all gathered around the samovar to enjoy mint tea or Yemenite mocha,

     and relish a bowl soup with a wooden spoon or share a couscous in a large convivial dish.

     - They then used to spend the night under the light of lanterns, on the terraces or around the “great fire”, smoking hookahs, negotiating,

      talking about their routes, as well as playing music, checkers or Andalusian cards games…

In the times of GPS, IPod and Facebook…

the “Moorish Café” at DAR TANIT follows, in its own way, the same traditions.
