Saadian Tombs

The Saadian tombs in Marrakech date back from the time of the sultan Ahmad al-Mansur (1578-1603). The tombs were only recently discovered (in 1917) and were restored by the Beaux-arts service. The tombs have, because of the beauty of their decoration, been a major attraction for visitors of Marrakech.

Outside the building is a garden and the graves of soldiers and servants.

This was one of my favorite places too, although I was disappointed at how it really didn't look like Tombs.

There were Orange trees near each grave. There were fresh oranges on the ground.
