 | | Carole | (14.01.2010) | | | | The Saadian Tombs in Marrakesh were sealed up for centuries until their rediscovery in 1917. Occupying a quiet enclosure at the kasbah, the tombs are magnificently decorated with colorful tiles, Arabic script and elaborate carvings.
| From the Djemaa el Fna, follow Rue Bab Agnaou south outside the ramparts. At the end is a small square flanked by two gates; through the gate on the left (Bab Agnaou, from Almohad times) is the kasbah mosque. The narrow passageway to the Saadian tombs is well-signposted at the right-hand corner of the mosque.
Tip: The Saadian Tombs are a popular sight; be ready for a line.
Be careful, restricted opening time : Daily 8:30-11:45am, 2:30-5:45pm
