Agdal Gardens

　　The Agdal Gardens cover an area of 400 hectares and are a Muslim-style garden. Its name originates from the Berber language, meaning “a meadow surrounded by stone walls.” Established in the 12th century, it was restored and expanded in the 19th century, forming the vast Agdal Gardens we see today.

　　The Agdal Gardens are rectangular, approximately 3.1 kilometers long and 1.2–1.4 kilometers wide. The garden is filled with orange trees, lemon trees, fig trees, apricot trees, and pomegranate trees, while two rows of tall olive trees form shaded avenues that provide relief from the heat. The garden is lush and vibrant—come spring, the trees and flowers begin to sprout and bloom, dressing the Agdal Gardens like a blossoming young lady showcasing her endless charm. By autumn, the harvest season, the trees are laden with plump, bountiful fruits, smiling at visitors from all directions.
