Let the rose ceremony begin… because apparently importing thousands of roses from Kalaat M’Gouna to the middle of Marrakech is now just a casual thing we do.
For a few days only, 1112 smells less like restraint and more like Damascus roses, copper stills, and beautiful excess. A tradition usually witnessed elsewhere in Morocco, now unfolding in our courtyard.🌹✨ #1112marrakech
Book before the roses have other plans.

The caftans worn by the women of 1112 are inspired by Moroccan fashion from the early 1900s, particularly the refined garments once worn in the central cities of Morocco — The layered silhouettes made to move elegantly through riad courtyards, tea rituals, and long afternoons of hospitality.
The upper layer was usually crafted from التليجة “tlija”, a slightly translucent fabric that reveals the ornate textile underneath, often detailed with السفيفة “sfifa”.
For these particular pieces, we searched for vintage Moroccan fabrics. Every pattern, weave, and trim carries traces of another era.
This post documents the making of sfifa as it is practiced today through machines that require precision and craftsmanship of their own. The fully handmade process — slower, rarer, and even more fascinating — deserves its own story, which we will share very soon.
At 1112, preserving heritage is not about nostalgia for nostalgia’s sake. It is about allowing our guests to sit inside a living Morocco — where the tea, the music, the architecture, and even the clothing can momentarily transport you back in time.

At 1112, distillation is practiced year-round, shaped by inherited methods, seasonal botanicals, and the knowledge of grandmothers.
We mark one year of continuing a nearly forgotten household craft.

What started as a revival of forgotten rituals is quietly becoming part of 1112’s story: bringing Moroccan traditions usually witnessed in other regions of Morocco into the heart of Marrakech.
This time, our surprise is rose water distillation. We’re bringing Damascus roses from Kelaat M’Gouna — Morocco’s rose capital, where this ritual has long been part of local life — and recreating the ceremony live at 1112, alongside live music.
Some things deserve to be witnessed, not just remembered. Book ahead.

At 1112, some of the most beautiful moments are those created by women in conversation, in craft, and in song.

The original residents of every riad: tibibit (Emberiza sahari).
A traditional riad is not fully operational without them.
Small birds with excellent taste in real estate, living off courtyard crumbs, bathing in fountain water, and providing what can only be described as Morocco’s first ambient soundtrack.

Part IV — Nzaha (نزهة)
Music is non-negotiable—Nzaha without Hadra is just tea outside.🫖🎶
•Nzaha (نزهة) in Morocco means a picnic—time spent in nature, gathering, sharing, slowing down.
At the 1112 farm, this is where our signature drink takes shape: Nzaha tea, infused with saffron, acacia sap, and star anise.
Come by the teahouse and get a taste.

Part II — Nzaha (النزاهة)🧺💐🫖
At the 1112 farm, Nzaha has a rhythm.
That same rhythm finds its way into our signature drink, Nzaha tea—come by the teahouse and get a taste.

Part I — Nzaha (النزاهة)
Spring at the 1112 farm.
Flowers picked by hand—the beginning of how we imagine 𝐨𝐮𝐫 𝐬𝐢𝐠𝐧𝐚𝐭𝐮𝐫𝐞 𝐝𝐫𝐢𝐧𝐤 “𝐍𝐳𝐚𝐡𝐚” tea should feel.
Nzaha in Moroccan means a picnic or outdoor gathering. At 1112, we created a specialty Atay inspired by these outings, made with saffron, star anise, and acacia sap tree. Nzaha isn’t just a drink but a whole state—spring, field, picking, ritual.
