A series of rectangular tombs carved directly into the limestone bluffs above the sea, east of the medina near the kasbah. The site dates to the Phoenician and later Roman occupations of Tingis (as the city was then known), and the open graves once held the dead of the merchant community that traded across the strait. Many of the original grave goods are now displayed in the Kasbah Museum.
The setting is dramatic — the tombs face directly out across the Mediterranean toward Spain, with the strait churning in the channel below. The cliff-edge path is unfenced and exposed, so take care, especially with children. Free and open all hours. Backpackers know the access path down from the kasbah as the "Steps of Doom" — steep, irregular, and worn smooth.
