Secret Oasis in the Medina 🌿🕌✨

#mytraveldiary

Tucked in the heart of Marrakech’s bustling medina, Le Jardin Secret tempts visitors with tranquil pathways, lush greenery, and ornate Islamic architecture. Imagine hidden courtyards, trickling fountains, and a feast of colors—a true escape from the city’s lively chaos!

Step-by-Step Exploration:
Enter via 121 Rue Mouassine and start your wander amid the garden’s two contrasting zones: the exotic garden alive with international plants and the traditional Islamic garden, perfectly geometric and soothing. Take time to admire the restored tower—climb up for a panoramic Medina view, one of the top insta-worthy spots! The mosaic-tiled paths and intricate woodwork around the central fountains offer brilliant photo backdrops too.

Must-Do:
Sip mint tea in the serene café, soaking up the peace under the shade of palm trees. Pause by the historical explanations dotted around the garden—they reveal fascinating tales about Marrakech’s heritage and the garden’s secretive past.
