Overview
Jnan Sbil Gardens were laid out in 1873 by Alaouite sultan Moulay Hassan between the royal palace and the medina, blending Andalusian landscaping with the European-style garden design introduced during the French protectorate era. Bamboo groves, lily ponds, fountains, and century-old trees offer cool shade in the heart of the city, drawing locals for morning and evening walks and jogs. Reopened after a major restoration in 2010, the gardens include a small on-site cafe for a break. A welcome escape from the medina's noise and crowds. Free entry. About 10 minutes on foot from Bab Boujloud.
