2. Sightsee amazing gardens

Founded since the 12th century, the Menara Gardens are set around a lake, where horticulturalists fetched water for their plants. These botanical gardens, where orchards of palm trees and olive trees are growing, feature in most Moroccan postcards. Countless stories about the Sultan who charmed guests to dine out with him and admire their reflection in the water are told by story tellers. He then would mysteriously get rid of them in the pool. The area is excellent for family outings and a romantic promenade. Sights of passionate couples canoodling among the olive trees are common.
