Saadian Tombs

Our guided city tour of Marrakech will take us to visit the Saadian tombs Sultan’s mausoleum and gardens. The foundation of these tombs dates back to the 16th century and the development of this site was begun by order of Sultan Ahmed al-Mansur Saadi and was restored after 1917. Enter the Saadian tombs and discover a rich history and breathtaking ornaments.

El Badi Palace

This palace was built by the Saadian sultan Ahmad al-Mansour in 1578. It was constructed on the occasion of Moroccan victory over the Portuguese at the Battle of the Three Kings in the town of Ksar el-Kabeer near Tangier. This palace lost its glory after it was looted and stripped of the marble and building material after the fall of the Saadian Dynasty. Most of it was taken to Meknes by Moulay Ismail. Now the palace stands in ruins. A tiny little area has been renovated and turned into a museum. You can see stables, dungeons, four sunken gardens with huge pools, and summer pavilions here. All this gives us a glimpse into the past and shows us how glorious the palace must have looked in its heydays.
