.....the Menara gardens in Marrakech - at the gates of the Atlas mountains and a wonderful peaceful retreat from the madness of the city centre. The gardens were created by the Almohad ruler Sultan Adu r-Rahman in the 12th century. The name menara derives from the pavilion with its small green pyramid roof (menzeh), which was built during the 16th century Saadi dynasty and renovated in 1869 by sultan Abderrahmane of Morocco, who used to stay here in summertime.
