Create an itinerary including Menara Gardens and Pavilion

Take in the relaxing atmosphere of Menara Gardens and Pavilion, a set of botanical gardens offering locals and tourists a break from the lively activity and noise of the city. Originally created in the 12th century, the gardens wrap around a central artificial lake, which supplies water to irrigate the surrounding orchards and groves. A 19th-century pavilion stands on the shore, against the backdrop of the Atlas mountains. Stroll around the lake, taking in the pavilion from a number of angles, and explore the gardens of palms, fruit, and olive trees.

I had visited here in 2008 and was interested to see if much had changed. Very large grove of olive trees surround the water reservoir and pavilion. It’s 50 DH to enter the pavilion which we did.

The place is beautiful. The high atlas mountains at the background are breathtaking. My children loved feeding the fish with some leftover bread from lunch. The area is surrounded by presumably olive trees, many thousands of them. I have seen people doing picnic in the garden. A fun family place for outing. I recommend

Beautiful and inspirational. Definitely worth stopping by, the colours and the plants/cacti and like nothing else. It does get pretty busy, so strongly advise to book ahead and avoid queues getting in. There is a little cafe at the end, worth stopping in for light refreshments etc

Very pleasant gardens with expansive groves. Picnic in the shade of a tree. Lots of people on Sundays including local buskers. Definitely worth paying the entrance fee to the pavilion - it's not big but take time to appreciate the architecture and views over the lake.

Beautiful lake but not much to see/do. There are a few small shops. You can relax reading a book or enjoying the view behind the lake

Clean and nice place for some relaxing time or picnic. The public restroom is in the area where you have to pay 50 MAD for foreigners.
