SAADIAN TOMBS.

One of the tourist attractions in Marrakesh is the Saadian tombs.

Rediscovered in 1917, they have become a historical landmark dating back from the late sixteenth century.

Built by the Saadian dynasty, they house the mausoleums of Sultan Ahmad al-Mansoor and his family.

The architecture is very impressive, with detailed stucco work, intricate mosaic tiles, and carrara marble.

The main mausoleum is incredible, and there are usually very long queues to get to see it.

It’s definitely recommended to arrive early to avoid waiting for sometimes more than an hour in the heat.

The Saadian tombs are very decadent, with a mixture of Morroccan, Andalusian, and European styles.

They showcase the wealth of the Saadian dynasty.

Hidden for centuries, they were spotted through aerial photography and are now one of the most visited tourist attractions in Marrakesh.

Located in the Kasbah next to the mosque, the opening times are;

9.00am – 5.00pm

The price of entry is 70 dirhams.
