The Tranquil Oasis of Agdal Gardens, in Marrakesh<\/h1>\n

Situated south of the Medina<\/a>, away amidst the bustling streets of Marrakesh<\/a>, lies a serene haven known as the Agdal Gardens<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Dating back to the 12th century, these expansive gardens were commissioned by the Almohad caliphs<\/a><\/strong>, just like the Menara Gardens<\/a>. The name “Agdal” comes from the Berber word for “walled meadow,” reflecting the enclosed nature of the gardens.<\/p>\n

What to See in Agdal Gardens<\/h2>\n

The gardens are enclosed within a walled perimeter<\/strong>, giving them a sense of seclusion and tranquility amidst the bustling city. The walls not only provide privacy but also serve to protect the gardens and their precious flora.<\/p>\n

Even though they cover 500 hectares<\/strong>, only a part is accessible to the public since they back onto the Royal Palace, which is still in use.<\/p>\n

Anyway, as you step into the gardens, you’ll be greeted by a symphony of sights and scents<\/strong>. These gardens are meticulously landscaped, featuring lush greenery and extensive citrus orchards. You can find also roses, palms, cypress, and other plants native to the region. All these plantings create a visually stunning landscape that changes with the seasons.<\/p>\n

However, the most iconic feature of the Agdal Gardens is the vast man-made reservoir, known as the Agdal Basin<\/strong>. Built to irrigate the gardens and surrounding farmland, this ancient water system is a marvel of engineering of those who lived in the past – the water comes from the Ourika Valley and the Atlas Mountains. Today, it provides a stunning backdrop for leisurely walks and quiet contemplation.<\/p>\n

What are the difference between Agdal Gardens, Menara Gardens and Jardin Majorelle?<\/h3>\n

Some of you may wonder if all gardens in Marrakesh are the same. Absolutely not.<\/p>\n

Each one offers a different atmosphere, although Adgal and Menara have many commonalities, such as the presence of a water pool and manicured vegetation. However, the centerpiece of the Menara Gardens is the Menara Pavilion<\/strong>, while Agdal has nothing similar. At the same time, Agdal Gardens look more like a grove while Jardin Majorelle<\/strong><\/a> is so manicured that it almost looks like an art exhibition.<\/p>\n

How to Get to the Gardens<\/h2>\n

Visiting the Agdal Gardens is a straightforward endeavor, with several transportation options available<\/strong>. If you’re staying in the Medina, you can reach the gardens by taxi<\/strong>, which offers a convenient and hassle-free journey. Alternatively, for a more adventurous experience, consider renting a bicycle<\/strong> and pedaling your way through the city streets.<\/p>\n

Once you arrive, admission to the Gardens is typically included in the ticket price for nearby attractions such as the Royal Palace or the Menara Gardens.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
