Description: Floor plan of the Saadian Tombs, based off of George Marçais's floor plan ("L'Architecture Musulmane Occidental", 1955) and off the version at Aga Khan Documentation Center - MIT Libraries (http://dome.mit.edu/handle/1721.3/50277). Made adjustements and simplifications. In this version: numbers added, without text, to allow for labeling and referencing in-text. Here is what they correspond to, based on the (translated) terminology and names used in a few books: 1: Chamber of Lalla Mas'uda (and Tomb of Muhammad al-Sheikh), 2: Grand Chamber, 3: Chamber of the Mihrab (former prayer hall, contains tombs of Alaouite dynasty), 4: Chamber of the Twelve Columns (tomb of Ahmad al-Mansur and others), 5: Chamber of the Three Niches, 6: Gardens and cemeteries, 7: Visitor entrance today
