Jnan Sbil Gardens, established in the 19th century by Sultan Moulay Hassan I, is a historic public park located in Fez, Morocco. Nestled between the old medina's two sections, Fes el-Jdid and Fes el-Bali, this 7.5-hectare garden boasts over 3,000 plant species, historic water wheels, and a large reflecting pool. Opened to the public in 1917 and restored from 2006 to 2010, it serves as a rare green space in the city and a venue for the annual World Sacred Music Festival.

Pretty park - just a pity we saw it in the rain when it was hard to navigate since all the paths became a giant lake!

You’d need to pay to use the bathroom. Satsumas are not the edible type Lovely green spaces and nice ambience

Beautiful park in Fes, Morocco. Stunning place to come walk around and see all the beautiful trees and flowers. Plenty of places to sit and enjoy the outdoors. We loved our visit. It was free to enter and enjoy. Worth a visit when visiting Fes.

A peaceful park just a short walk from the blue gate. Good escape from the madina crowd, saw both tourists and local chilling in it.

Beautiful garden! Lots of amazing cactus 🌵🌵! They allow the "kiote" of the agaves to grow which is amazing for preserving biodiversity.

These gardens, dating back to the 18th century, are beautifully set out and contain over 3,000 plant species. Free admission. Watch out that Friday is the Muslim holy day so, despite the signs, the gardens won't open till the afternoon.

I was in Fes during the World Sacred Music Festival. Consequently, as the gardens were the venue to some performances they were closed to public. No information about this before visiting the site! But if you get a chance, beautiful respite from.a day spent afoot in mazey fes!

For sure, a serendipitous find for me. I took the wrong road returning from the Marinid tombs and ended up here. Large variety of trees/shrubs, flowers, and cacti. There's a lake at the south end and a fountain in the middle of the main walkway. Very nice place to come and relax, many shaded benches where you can sit.
