Marrakech, Morocco: Day 8

Today's main tourist attractions are the recently discovered but ancient Saadian tombs and more souk, this time in the Jewish quarter. I'll let the photos and captions do the talking (cop outs are nice sometimes). 

Each rectangle in tile represents one body. The larger the stone ornament on top is, the higher the rank of the buried.  Notice the intricacy in the doorways! So amazing.

A baby cat sleeping on a tomb. That's somehow deep.

There are tombs both in the outside courtyard and in rooms that spin off from it.
