Menara Garden

The Menara Garden was established in the 12th century as an orchard of palm, olive and fruit trees. It has a formal pool overlooked by a pavilion (minzah) previously used by the sultan and his family. The present pavilion dates from the nineteenth century but is believed to be on the site of an earlier (16th-century) Saadian structure. An orchards, pools and pavilions are the primary components of Islamic gardens.
