In-Depth Information
Exit into the boutique with its handsome coffee-table books and pricey souvenirs: Ma-
jorelle blue slippers, perfume, and pillows embroidered with YSL. The cafe offers drinks
at high-fashion prices but you can't argue with the view.
GARDEN
CyberPark
(Ave Mohammed V; 9am-7pm; )
Stop and smell the roses while checking email at this
8-hectare royal garden, dating from the 18th century but now offering free wi-fi. Wait for
free outdoor kiosks or pay to use the air-conditioned cybercafe (Dh10 per hour).
Menara Gardens
GARDEN
( Ave de la Menara, Hivernage; garden free, picnic pavilion Dh20; 9am-5pm)
Local lore tells of a
sultan who seduced guests over dinner, then lovingly chucked them in the Menara's re-
flecting pools to drown. Nowadays dunking seems the furthest thing from the minds of
couples canoodling amid these royal olive groves, or families picnicking in the stately
19th-century pavilion. On clear days, come for dromedary rides and photo ops against the
Atlas Mountain backdrop.
