Saadi Tombs
Heading in to see the Saadian Tombs.
Next stop
We've arrived at our next stop. The entrance is in this kind of alley.
Kasbaaf Cafe
I just liked the name, Kasbah Cafe.
Koutoubia Minaret
The Koutoubia mosque is the largest mosque in Marrakesh. The minaret is topped by four gold orbs that have many legends associated with them. One of the legends is that they were once made of solid gold.
Ready to go!
Ok, everyone is on board now. On to the next stop!
Lunch!
The different colors across the food are coming from the sunlight through the windows.
Pretty!
Almost as pretty as the palace!
Entrance
Even the restaurant had beautiful tiling.
Palais Chahramane
A real Moroccan restaurant for lunch.
Back on the street
Walking to our next stop on the tour.
Delicate
The tiles were very old and delicate. They asked us not to touch the walls.
More painted ceilings
With beautiful tiles.
Hard to pick
Everything was so beautiful it was hard to pick which photos to take.
Zellige
This type of tile is called zellige. It's tile chips set in to plaster. Craftsmen are trained from childhood in this artform.
