Jardin d'Essais Botaniques
حديقة التجارب
A historic botanical garden from 1914, with bamboo groves, palm avenues and Andalusian-style gardens. It reopened after restoration.
The Jardin d'Essais Botaniques was designed by French landscape architect Forestier in 1914. Originally a colonial-era trial ground for introducing plants, it covers about 17 hectares. It features palm-lined avenues, bamboo groves, a cactus area and Andalusian-style water gardens, and it is a favorite spot for locals to walk and jog. After restoration in the 2010s, it reopened as part of the World Heritage property. Entry is free.
