- Marinid Tombs
-
The Marinid Tombs are a few giant tombs on the hill above Fes, Morocco, possibly housing royalty or personages of some importance, dating back to the Marinid Dynasty. The Marinid Dynasty left very little behind, and this is one of their few legacies. The tombs are in a high state of disrepair and are crumbling, but there is some script still to be seen in the stone. Their primary attraction for tourists is the views they afford of the ancient 1200-year-old medina below, especially at sunset.[1]
There is some risk of robbery here after dark.
