A cheap escape from the hussle and bussle, although small, the tombs and gardens were a lovely visit. The architecture was beautiful, the gardens very tranquil, a lovely spot to sit in the sun and chill while taking in this hidden gem. The entrance was only 10 dirham (80p UK) , although as stated by other reviews, a guide book... more

It's a very interesting historical site, where you can learn a lot about the Morrocan culture. But you need to know what you are seeing in order to notice the small details - better with a guide or if you have studied before going. more

It's very hot afternoon, sun shines and about hundred people stands in line, waiting and sweating. It gives you a feeling that there's something amazing waiting for you, so that's why it could be a huge disappointment when you finally get an opportunity to check the saadian tombs. It's just a small room with the tombs and a couple of... more

Didn’t know what to expect really, had a few tombs and the Moroccan artwork was really beautiful. It had a lovely sunny garden in the centre (as most attractions do in Morocco). It’s worth a quick visit only 10 dirhams for the entrance. It will take you roughly 20 minutes as the reviewer below has said also. Before you go... more

Tombs and tiles. Flowers and trees. Nice tiles, mosaics and Moroccan arches with high walls. Visited for about 20 minutes. 10dh entrance fee, I believe. Very cheap. Fair price for what you'll see within...unless you're a Saadian, naturally. "Guides", trinkets & taxis await out front. more
