The magical caidal tent – with its 1,001 Nights candles – promises a true sense of Morocco
Inspired by the rose-hued buildings of old Marrakech and its 12th-century Menara gardens, palatial Amanjena lies just outside the fabled Red City. Amid shady courtyards with petal-strewn fountains, traditional earth-toned pisé-de-terre walls give way to the central basin – it’s this ancient-style reflection pool that helps nourish the gardens and its date palms, olive trees and bursts of exotic flora. Vaulted ceilings and Moorish arches house cool, elegant interiors.
