The Menara Gardens are located west of Marrakech, Morocco, at the gates of the Atlas Mountains. They were built in the twelfth century (c. 1130) by the Almohad caliph Abd al-Mumin.
The name derives from menara small green pyramid (menzeh) the roof of the pavilion. This pavilion was built during the Saadi dynasty in the sixteenth century and renovated in 1869 by Sultan Abd ar-Rahman ibn Hicham, who used to stay there during the summer.
