The city was built thanks to khettara, underground channels bringing water from the Atlas.
Historical context
From the 11th century to the Menara gardens and riads, Moroccan architecture is conceived around water that cools and beautifies.
Why it matters today
The climate is warming and water is even more precious. Understanding this makes the visit more respectful.
What to notice on site
At the Secret Garden, look at the four-part plan. At Menara, the pool facing the Atlas says it all in a glance.
