Saadian Tombs
The beautiful necropolis was built by the Saadian Sultan Ahmed
el Mansour in the late 16th century as a final resting place for
himself and his successors. There are 66 indoor tombs, lavishly
decorated with colourful, intricate mosaics. The central mausoleum,
the Hall of the Twelve Columns, is exceptionally ornate with a high
vaulted roof, furnished with stunning carved cedar panels and
columns of grey Italian marble.

Admission
Language
Arabic is the official language, but eight other
languages are also spoken including Berber, French and Spanish.
English is generally understood in the tourist areas, but French is
the most widely spoken.
Money
The unit of currency is the Moroccan Dirham (MAD), which is
divided into 100 centimes. ATMs are available in the larger towns,
but can be unreliable; currency can be exchanged at banks or
official bureaux de changes, which are also widespread in major
towns. Dirhams cannot be obtained or exchanged outside Morocco and
receipts must be retained as proof of legal currency exchange, as
well as in order to re-exchange money when departing. Major credit
cards are accepted in the larger shops, hotels and restaurants.
Travellers cheques can be used in tourist areas, but are not
prevalent; they are best taken in Euros or Pounds Stirling.
