Jearld Moldenhauer

Situated in derb Saoud in Gzira, Dar Balmira is full of surprises. The central courtyard is magnificent tribute to the arts and crafts of Fez. All the huge, ancient doors are in perfect proportion to the space and stand alongside wonderful carved plaster in pristine condition. The surrounding woodwork, carved in bold designs, seems to cascade down from artful niches. One of the salons off the courtyard gives us the first glimpse of the complexity of the softly spoken Moldenhauer. It is his private space, and contains a vast collection of movies and books

Guests are welcome to see the photo exhibits and visit the roof deck garden and aviary. The Dar Balmira roof deck offers an exceptional panoramic view of the Medina and Mt. Zalagh so guests are welcome to bring their cameras.

The screenings will be shown on a large 147 cm (diagonal measurement) HD 3-D screen with a separate home theatre 5 speaker sound system. Screenings usually run under 2 hours so that guests may return to their Riads and Hotels in time for dinner. Riad managers are welcome to visit Gallery Dar Balmira to see exactly what we offer to visiting tourists. We also suggest taking a few minutes to look at their web site: Dar Balmira
