I was generally browsing through Marie Claire Maison- (not that I understand French, but the language of eyecandy is universal) and I came across these stunning pictures. Babelfish came to rescue and I figured I'm looking at this gorgeous little hotel in a Tunisian village, Djerba, called Dar Dhiafa. There is just so much romance in these visuals & they remind me of Morocco. I just find myself continually drawn to its colourful world which is so much like India & not.
Loved this screen which has the typical geometric designs one has come to associate with muslim art & architecture
aaah.. step into the a world of rough hewn curved arches...
...and Moorish cafes.
the beautifully lit poolside
Colourful Turkish baths
and pristine calming bedrooms...
An interesting verandah to curl with a book
I just love the way they use colour, a lot in some places, just a touch in others. This reminds me I need to pull out my pics from rajasthan & cover the couple of places where I was put up when I went. It should make for some really colourful posts.

Lovely stone architecture.. will keep the inhabitants cool, I suppose..
Btw, I think you mean Tunisia and not Morocco. They are different countries and Djerba seems to be an island in Tunisia.
Mekie, thanx so much for the correction. It will teach me to not just write what I assume, but to crosscheck. I have made the correction. Thanx much! :)
I just had to go look up this little island because I'm enchanted by it.
Guess what?!? It's where the Mos Eisely exterior shots were filmed for the original Star Wars. LOL, so not only is it lovely, but the inner nerd in me now wants to go there to see the original cantina.
Hooray!
