The Odessa Opera House is not only a very beautiful theater in Ukraine, but also a rare architectural gem in Eastern Europe
Designed by an Austrian architect in the early 19th century, it is imbued with a strong Viennese Baroque influence
The theater has a quaint exterior and a magnificent interior, with walls and columns adorned with resplendent classical sculptures
Menara Gardens, located in the western part of Marrakech city, is a small oasis where locals spend their leisure time
The garden is filled with lush greenery, and the central pond is said to be holy water from the Atlas Mountains, with many fish swimming to the edge of the pond waiting for tourists to feed them
Menara Gardens was built under the supervision of the Almohad ruler, Abd al-Mu’min, in the 12th century (1130 AD)
The name ‘Menara’ is derived from the green, small pyramid-shaped roof of its architecture, which is called ‘menzeh’ in the local language
The pavilion in Menara Gardens was built during the 16th-century Saadi dynasty
The garden is open year-round from 08:00 to 18:00, with special operating hours during Ramadan: from 9:00 AM to 5:00 PM
The garden’s opening hours may vary by season, and operating times may change due to public holidays or other special events, as published on the official website
Accessibility services include accessible parking and entrance
Must-see tips: 1
Shortly after entering the garden, there are stalls offering camel rides and photo opportunities; if you do not intend to experience these, try to avoid taking photos of the stalls and camels to prevent any dissatisfaction

If interested, you can bring breadcrumbs to feed the fish in the pond
