Along with the Tombeaux Saâdiens, this mural fountain is a rare testament to the grandeur of the Saadian reign. Its name comes from an Arabic inscription found on it, literally "Drink and Look," because this eye-pleasing fountain is evidence of the grandness of the reign of its commissioner Ahmed El-Mansour (1578-1603). The fountain is covered by a big cedar canopy under a green-tiled roof. It was added to list of Cultural Heritage Sites by UNESCO in 1985.
