Saadian Tombs
They date to the time of the Saadian dynasty and in particular to the reign of Ahmad al-Mansur (1578–1603), though members of Morocco's monarchy continued to be buried here for a time afterwards. The complex is regarded by many art historians as the high point of Moroccan architecture in the Saadian period due to its luxurious decoration and careful interior design. Today the site is a major tourist attraction in Marrakesh.(Wikipedia)
This most magnificent hall may not be entered. In front of the small archway, which allows a view inside, is usually a long queue of tourists waiting.
