Botanical Garden of Rabat

The Botanical Garden of Rabat covers a large area with extensive plant collections from various zones, displaying both formal arrangements and traditional garden design. The site is divided into distinct sections that showcase different styles and plant types.

The garden came into being during the 1910s as a result of collaboration between Moroccan and French specialists who wanted to create a new kind of public space in the city. This origin reflects the relationships that shaped the city during that period.

The garden blends Moroccan and French gardening traditions through its design and plant selections from different regional climates. Visitors can see how both cultural approaches shaped the space.

The garden sits in an easily accessible part of the city and can be visited on foot or by public transport. The best approach is to arrive early in the day when it is less crowded and plants are seen in better light.

One section of the garden was designed as a traditional Moroccan garden with elements drawn from older private gardens in the region. This part shows what historical garden design looked like before European influences arrived.
