Menara Gardens is a historic oasis spanning over 100 hectares founded by the Almohads in the 12th century. Listed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site since 1985 as part of the historic city. Famous for its massive water basin and 19th-century green pavilion that has become an iconic symbol of Marrakech, especially with the reflection of the snow-capped Atlas Mountains in the water. It contains vast olive groves and fruit trees along shaded paths inviting walks and relaxation away from the city bustle.
