La Ménara is a large garden planted with olive trees, built during the Almohad dynasty, about 45 minutes walk from the Jamaa El Fna square, in the center of Marrakech, Morocco. At the heart of this garden, a large pond at the foot of a pavilion serves as a reservoir for water to irrigate crops. It is a very peaceful place, away from the hustle and bustle of the city. It is therefore a privileged place for walks. The basin is supplied with water thanks to a hydraulic system over 700 years old, which transports water from the mountains located about 30 km from Marrakech. This pond allows irrigation of the olive grove. Genuine desert garden located at little separation of the focus of Marrakech, the Menara is an excellent garden planted with 40 varieties of olive trees around a colossal basin which serves as reservoir for the irrigation of the plants. It is one of the most calm places of Marrakech and there are many who go there to find the tranquility at the edge of the basin fueled by the waters of the mountain that can be admired on the horizon. This basin is powered by a very ancient hydraulic system called Qanat which allows to bring water from the mountains distant 30 kilometers from Marrakech.

From an early age I display an enterprising and independent temperament, occasionally rebellious or rebellious.
I was born in Meknes, part of the imperial cities of Morocco. A city marked by its olive trees, historical monuments and various traditions. I lived in a spiritual and meditative atmosphere. I was fascinated at school by the paintings of the great masters, but I am refractive to all artistic teaching. It is therefore self-taught that I undertake my own pictorial explorations,
It is true that the school trains painters; Becoming an artist is another approach that can not be learned at school. I am attracted by any landscape that appeals to expressionism. This has influenced my paintings, which tackle the Moroccan landscape, traditions and historical monuments.
