About the venue
Dar Al Afrah is built as two mirror-image halls under one roof: each wing has its own entrance, its own kitchen, and its own prayer room with wudu facilities, so two families can celebrate the same night fully separated from each other without either seeing the other. One wing is booked more often for Moroccan weddings with a neggafa and zaffa procession, the other for Turkish weddings with halay and the gelin yolu, but either is available for any celebration.
Together the two wings seat 400 guests. Event manager Yasmine El Idrissi, who speaks Arabic and Turkish and usually replies within two days, schedules both calendars so arrival times never overlap. The whole building is alcohol-free, with a Turkish coffee station and a qahwa corner in each wing.

Recommendations
6 recommendations“Our family celebrated in the north wing with the neggafa throne and room for the zaffa procession, while another family celebrated in the south wing at the same time. We never saw each other all evening.”
“We had the south wing for our Turkish wedding, with the lit walkway for the gelin yolu. Yasmine El Idrissi had scheduled both families' arrival times so there was no overlap.”
“Each wing really does have its own prayer room with wudu facilities, we did not know that beforehand and it made a big difference for my parents during prayer.”
“With 400 guests across both wings together, nothing felt overcrowded, each family had its own entrance and own kitchen. Fully alcohol-free mattered to our older guests.”
“The qahwa corner in our wing with the Turkish coffee station was a nice detail for guests who wanted to sit for a moment between rounds of dancing. Yasmine spoke Arabic with my mother and Turkish with the in-laws.”
“Yasmine El Idrissi always replied within two days, even when we had to adjust the guest list last minute. The feeling of two families, two entrances, one roof matched exactly what was promised.”
