Jnane El Harti, Marrakech

Nestled in the heart of Gueliz, the El-Harti Gardens (Jnane El Harti) present an array of attractions. Among Marrakech’s expansive modern gardens, this destination boasts an array of amenities. Playgrounds for children and recreational spots for all are readily available. Yet, what truly sets El-Harti apart is its remarkable collection of plants and blossoms. From the enchanting rose garden to the vibrant array of flora, including colossal palm trees and numerous tree species, the gardens host a diverse botanical panorama. Even a concealed cactus garden thrives within the confines of El-Harti.

As you gaze down the extensive 100-meter water basin adorned with numerous fountains, your eyes are drawn to the distance. Amongst the palm trees, the floodlights of Stade el-Harti emerge, a versatile stadium with a capacity of 20,000 seats. Predominantly serving as the home turf for Kawkab Marrakech football club, it stands tall and visible. For those seeking respite after exploring the Medina and venturing into the new town, these gardens offer an idyllic sanctuary.
