An hour of calm at Le Jardin Secret in the medina
A walled garden laid out on Islamic garden principles, with fountains, pools and shaded paths, right off the busy lanes of Mouassine.
- Best timeLate morning or mid-afternoon, when the lanes outside are at their busiest.
- EntryFrom MAD 100.00 per personPrice published on the official website
- How it worksGo independently: nothing to book through MoroccanPlans.
Why go
Le Jardin Secret sits behind a plain doorway on Rue Mouassine, in the middle of the medina. Inside, the noise of the souks drops away: water runs through channels and fountains, and planted beds are arranged according to the principles of the Islamic garden, alongside a section of plants from further afield.
It is a good place to understand why gardens matter so much in Moroccan architecture, and a welcome pause between the souks and the monuments of the old city. A tower, on a separate ticket, gives a view over the medina’s rooftops.
What to expect
A small site you can see in about an hour, with benches and shade. The official website lists adult entry at 100 MAD, with reduced prices for visitors up to 24 and for Moroccan citizens, and free entry for children under 12 (checked October 2026). Children under 6 cannot go up the tower.
Our advice
- Combine it with the Mouassine fountain and the souks around it.
- Opening hours change with the season (shorter in winter); check the official website before you go.
- The tower ticket is sold separately.
Advice from our editors, not official rules: check opening times and conditions locally.
