Menara Gardens
A 12th-century agricultural estate on the western edge of the city, centred on a rectangular pool fed by an underground khettara channel from the Atlas Mountains. The pavilion at the water's edge was built by the Saadians in the 16th century. On a clear morning, the Atlas reflects in the pool. The olives are still harvested in November.
