[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
I made this picture on the Merinides graveyard in Fes, which is a place where last sultans of their dynasty were burried centuries ago.

I don't know what is written there and the language neither...

The Marinid, Merinid or Beni Marin ethnic group (Arabic: مرينيون marīniyūn or بنو مرين banū marīn; Spanish Marinķ/Marinķes) was a Zenata-Berber tribe of North Africa.
The tribe formed a dynasty (known as the Marinid/Merinid/Benemerine dynasty) in 1244, largely concentrated in present-day Morocco, which lasted until 1465. It overtook the Almohad dynasty in controlling most of the Maghreb from the mid-1300s to the 15th century.
