The Saadier tombs had been 'off the beaten path' for several hundred of years...
..maybe that is why they are in such perfect condition...

...and although the whole area is rather big it was hidden behind high walls and nobody had the idea that there would be one of the most beautiful buildings of Marrakesh

but finally in 1917 someone accidentally found the entrance hidden behind some rocks and vegetation
Todays entrance looks was restored and nowadays, you would not understand that this place was not detected before

inside the tombs there is a lovely garden and buildings with absolutely great ornaments.
and the roof-tiles on the buildings are all green - as it is the color of the prophet.
The buildings needed almost no restauration and are still in perfect condition !

as according to the Koran it was not allowed to show person's faces on a painting or sculpture the traditional decorations for houses and Mosques are geometrical signs and patterns

don't forget to bring a flash, when you intend to take pics - some of the best rooms are rather dark, but well worth a picture !

The saadier tombs are one of the greatest sights in Marrakesh.
The floors and parts of the walls are covered with wonderful mosaik-patterns

Thanks for this tour of Marrakesh. Love your picture of the Menara Pavillion. Cheers! | zaffaran Sun May 21, 2006 18:29 UTC
As usually, Michael, another great and very addictive page! :-)) | JLBG Sun Jan 8, 2006 20:12 UTC
You are right, in places such as the dyers district, you can feel guilty of taking pictures. There are several places in Morocco where I did not take any pictures because of that. Excellent Marrakech page ! | keeweechic Sat May 7, 2005 01:40 UTC
Amazing place..I'm not sure I would last through Ramadan. The Saadier tombs are fascinating. I know I would enjoy the shopping. |
