If the term “rich even in death” ever requires an example, the Saadian tombs are a true embodiment of the phrase. Located near the Kasbah Mosque, the tobs serve as a resting ground for Saadian Sultan Ahmad al Mansur, who was laid onto his deathbed in 1603.

While it is impossible for the late Sultan to have prevented his demise, he guaranteed that he would never feel the lack of luxury even after death. Indeed, the monuments in the tomb are made of imported Italian Carrara marble, while the honeycomb muqarnas are gilded with pure gold. Of course, the craftsmanship behind this mausoleum is of the finest level, with finely worked cedarwood and stucco adorning the decorations of the place.

While the interiors are mostly dedicated to the late Sultan and a few of his select sons, the beautiful gardens in the tomb’s grounds belong to the rest of chancellors and wives. Truly, the late Sultan’s is a spectacular attraction that never fails to attract visitors from all across the globe!
