Sultan Said brought Persian craftsmen to build these famous baths for his wife Sherehezade in 1850. Creating images of any living beings, is completely against Muslim beliefs, but these baths have pictures of birds and animals on the walls. Sherehezade used the baths to freshen up after daylong hunting trips and long journeys. Today, to enter these baths an entrance fee must be paid. Guides conversant in its fabled history accompany visitors. |
