MUSEUM
( 0524 38 91 92; www.tiskiwin.com ; 8 Rue de la Bahia; adult/child Dh20/10; 9.30am-12.30pm &
2.30-6pm) Travel to Timbuktu and back again via Dutch anthropologist Bert Flint's art col-
lection, displayed at Maison Tiskiwin. Each room represents a caravan stop along the
Sahara-to-Marrakesh route, with indigenous crafts from Tuareg camel saddles to High At-
las carpets. The accompanying text is often more eccentric than explanatory (an example:
'By modifying his pristine nakedness Man seeks to reveal his image of himself') but
Tiskiwin's well-travelled artefacts offer tantalising glimpses of Marrakesh's trading-post
past.
Saadian Tombs

HISTORIC SITE
( Rue de la Kasbah; admission Dh10; 9am-4.45pm) Anyone who says you can't take it with
you hasn't seen the Saadian Tombs, near the Kasbah Mosque. Saadian Sultan Ahmed al-
Mansour ed-Dahbi spared no expense on his tomb, importing Italian Carrara marble and
gilding honeycomb muqarnas (decorative plasterwork) with pure gold to make the Cham-
ber of the 12 Pillars a suitably glorious mausoleum.
