context_page_description: The Saadi dynasty or Saadian dynasty was a Moroccan Sharifian dynasty, from 1549 to 1659.
  From 1509 to 1549, they had ruled only in the centre of Morocco. Although still recognizing the Wattasids as Sultans until 1528, Saadian's growing power led the Wattasids to attack them and, after an indecisive battle, to recognize their rule over southern Morocco through the Treaty of Tadla.
  Morocco was prosperous at the time of the Saadians, as it did not live through civil wars until the death of Sultan Ahmed Al-Mansour Al-Dhahabi, which coincided with the successive fall of the empire.
  Their reign over Morocco began with the reign of Sultan Mohammed ash-Sheikh in 1554, when he vanquished the last Wattasids at the Battle of Tadla. The Saadian rule ended in 1659 with the end of the reign of Sultan Ahmad el Abbas.
