Jnan Sbil Gardens, Public garden between Fes el-Jdid and Fes el-Bali, Morocco
The Jnan Sbil Gardens extend across 7.5 hectares, featuring numerous fountains, water channels, and a collection of over 3000 plant species including bamboo and eucalyptus trees.
Sultan Moulay Hassan I established these gardens in the 19th century as part of the Royal Palace complex, connecting them through an underground passage until 1917.
The gardens host performances during the World Sacred Music Festival, providing a gathering space for both local residents and international visitors throughout the year.
The garden gates remain open every day except Monday, with the most active visiting hours occurring during late afternoon when temperatures decrease.
Two historical water wheels, known as norias, stand within the gardens as remnants of the ancient water distribution system that supplied the old city.
