(0)
The Andalusian Gardens are located inside the Kasbah of the Udayas and provide a calm retreat filled with greenery and flowers. Designed during the French colonial period, the gardens blend Andalusian and Moroccan landscaping styles. Palm trees, orange trees, fountains, and shaded paths create a peaceful atmosphere away from city noise. The gardens are popular for short walks and quiet relaxation. For travelers, the Andalusian Gardens offer a refreshing break and complement a visit to the historic kasbah.
