Marinid Tombs
قبور المرينيين
The ruins of Marinid dynasty tombs on a hill north of the old city, the best spot for a panoramic view of Fez el-Bali and for watching the sunset.
The Marinid Tombs are 14th-century royal tombs of the Marinid dynasty, now reduced to broken domes and walls. The hill they sit on overlooks the entire old city of Fez el-Bali, with its white rooftops, the green-tiled roof of the Qarawiyyin Mosque and distant hills all in view. At dusk, the call to prayer rises from many minarets at once, making it one of the most classic sunset views in Fez. Admission is free. A taxi from Blue Gate takes about 10 minutes. It is not advisable to linger alone after dark.
