Agdal Gardens
Huge walled orchard fed by water from the Atlas - حدائق أكدال
Open only two days a week and a bit out of the way, the Agdal Gardens is a sprawling walled orchard, like a bigger, less kempt version of the Menara Gardens. The Agdal is significant historically, but doesn't really offer much to wow the average tourist.
The Agdal Gardens stretch for some 3km south of the Medina, beyond the Kasbah and the royal palace. They were created for the Almohad sultan Abdel Mumin (ruled 1147–63).
Now as then, they're used for growing oranges, lemons, apricots, figs, dates and pomegranates. The plots are divided by walkways flanked by lines of olive trees. The name Agdal is Tamazight (Berber) for a walled meadow.
