Merinides Necropolis

Approx. Time: 2 hours
Activity Level: Easy to Moderate

Although little remains of the 14th century tombs of the Merinid sultans, their hilltop position offers a breathtaking panorama of Fez's majesty. From this vantage point high above the city, the visitor to the Necropolis grasps the subtle beauty of the Moroccan city, with its uniformly green rooftops punctuated by soaring minarets, its inviting terraces overlooking gilded gates, and its narrow, rustic streets forged from stones that have witnessed its great history. Truly, the Merinides Necropolis affords a spectacular view of the imperial city which thrives on the perpetual vitality of its people.
