Menara Gardens

West of Marrakech, the Menara is a vast olive grove built around a still reflecting basin, with a small pavilion whose image against the snow-capped Atlas is one of the city's classic views. You'll stroll the water's edge where families picnic, the mountains floating on the horizon. Simple, serene and photogenic, it's a calm escape from the medina's intensity.
