Jnan Sbil Gardens
جنان السبيل
A royal garden between the old city and New Fez with waterwheels, bamboo groves and fountains, a good place to rest after exploring the old city.
Jnan Sbil Garden, also known as the Blue Gate Garden, was built in the 19th century as a royal garden. It was restored and opened free of charge in 2011. Inside are palm-lined avenues, bamboo groves, water-lily ponds, fountains and an old waterwheel that channels the Fez River into the garden. Located between Blue Gate and New Fez, it is within walking distance and suits a break after the busy old city. Admission is free, and in the evening local families come out for a stroll.
Opening hours
