MENARA GARDEN

That's the beauty of his pelvis which made the legend of the Menara garden, once owned by the Sultans in Marrakech. Less extensive than Agdal than ten hectares, this park was created around 1250, planted with beautiful trees, some palm trees and cypresses. Meeting place for lovers, it is beautiful at sunset. To the north, among the olive trees, stands a small pavilion Saadian the late nineteenth century to the green pyramidal roof, the menzeh, which is reflected in the basin surrounded by a canal fed by water from the Atlas. From its upper terrace, you can embrace the panorama of the city and its gardens.

AGDAL GARDENS

The oldest Arab-Andalusian gardens, Sultan Abd El Moumen and his successor Abu Youssef Yacoub did crash in the twelfth century, a huge enclosed garden to the south of the city. Nicknamed El Bouhayra - "Little Sea" - by then Masarat Saadians, this park was eventually called Agdal, Berber term adopted in the Alawite dynasty. Its creators of the Almohad period have introduced new rules in the design of gardens.
