About

Why visit Marinid Tombs

The Marinid Tombs stand on the hills overlooking the historic city of Fez. The surviving ruins are associated with the Marinid dynasty, which made Fez its capital and left an important architectural legacy across the city. Today, the site is valued both for its historical atmosphere and for its elevated position, which offers broad views across the rooftops, minarets and dense urban fabric of Fès el-Bali. It is particularly rewarding for travelers who want to understand the scale of the medina from above.
