Saadian Tombs

This is the cemetery of the Satian family. The Satian family defeated Portugal in the Battle of the Three Kings and received huge reparations. It took 25 years to build the Palace of Badi and the Tomb of Satian. Later King Ismail spent 12 years robbing the Palace of Badi, but dared not move the ancestor's mausoleum any more, only filled its entrance and buried it. It was not until modern times when it was colonized by France that a French official discovered it and said goodbye to the heavens. Therefore, it is a supplement to the Palace of Buddy, showing the original style of the Palace of Buddy. It's not a small crowd here. When we went to see the main tomb, we had to queue up for a long time, but it was not well known to the Chinese people. Probably it was the reason why the tour group would not take it with us.

The Sadian Tomb is located at the southwest end of Badi Palace in Marrakech, about 600 meters away from Badi Palace. The entrance ticket is 10 dirhams per person. The focus is on the skills of wood carving ceilings and Arab craftsmen. The site is very small.

Saadian Tombs, located in Marrakech, is the tomb of the Saadian dynasty. The Sardinian Dynasty existed in the 16th and 17th centuries and is said to be descended from the Prophet Mohammed. About 60 members of the royal family were buried in the cemetery. You must do your homework ahead of time. You'd better have some explanations to make it interesting.

The entry fee is expensive and the site is small but very beautiful. Unfortunately hours of wait to see the main chamber.

The less popular site is Saadian Tombs, which buries members of the 16th century Saadian Royal family. Figure 1 is a watercolor sketch by a French painter from the 20th century. The sculpture and decoration here should have reached an indescribable level. It is a great masterpiece of Arab craftsmen and fully reflects the glory of the grave owner. But besides admiration, I really feel that a society spends too much effort on these complicated decorations to do anything else.

When Sultan Murray Ismail of the Alawite dynasty invaded Marrakech, he destroyed the palace but retained the tomb.
