The Best Way to Travel Through Northern Morocco Is by Train — Here's How to Plan Your Trip

"The short trip up to Marinid Tombs is a must, particularly at sunset, to get a sense of the city as a whole and watch the sun light up the fields and mountains nearby." - Elle Benson Easton

Beautiful view from the top to watch the sunset. View of the whole Fez Medina. Good place to hang out and just admire the scenery and watch the lights in the Medina turn on. Easy climb

We had a bit of time to spare in Fes and asked our guide to bring us to watch sunsets - this place is so beautiful and it’s fantastic to learn about the cultural significance of the tombs too. At sunset we saw flocks of birds flying over and it was stunning. Good place to wind down after day activities!

A place on a hill that's famous for its sunset views. Unluckily for me and my boyfriend, it was very cloudy and smoggy on the day of our visit. So count also with this possibility when you visit Fez and make your plans for the town. The place is officially closed, I assume, and the ruins are circled by a tape. It seems that some construction will be happening at the place soon. Despite this fact, the place has a lot of visitors, climbing the hill to see a sunset. Prepare that you will need to walk up to the hill yourself, often outside of a pedestrian walk. There are also no lights around so when you leave the place after the sunset, it's quite dark and you will end up using a torch on your phone, most probably.

Some truly amazing views from the top. Takes about 30 minutes to get there once you're out of the Medina. Good to see some restoration work going on too. Make sure you take plenty of water with you. It's such a shame there is so much litter and hardly any bins, think I saw one on the way.

Closed on all sides for renovations. Re-opening time is TBD, could be a year or two. It is a big hike to walk to, and only safe during the day time.

4.5 stars :) it is a place to watch the old medina having the ruins of Marinid tombs behind you but there is not much left from the tombs. it is not far by car so worth a visit. it is not a place to watch the sunset but during sunset the color of the medina was more vivid.

Beautiful view of the city and unrestricted access to explore this amazing site.

I thoroughly enjoyed the view from here of the whole medina of Fes as well as a huge maqbara. It was free of cost to enter and there are no posters or information that I saw regarding these tombs. A beautiful spot to go watch the sunrise/sunset as well. We drove here but I would also recommend a short hike from the Borj Nord Museum.
