Great news for the historic Medina of Fez is that yesterday Princess Lalla Hasna, chairwoman of the Mohammed VI Foundation for the Protection of the Environment, chaired the signing ceremony of the partnership framework convention worth MAD 30Mn, about USD 3.4Mn, aimed to revamp Jnan Sbil gardens in Fes.
The multipartite convention, part of the Foundation's "Flowered Cities" program, aims at revivifying the beauty of old-age Jnan Sbil and ultimately register it as one of the world's historical gardens.
The program is to be achieved in several steps.
Jnan Sbil was created in the 18th century by Sultan Moulay Abdallah on an area of 7.5ha at the very heart of a monumental site.
This jewel of the Arab-Andalus tradition was recently overrun by recurrent drought and continued neglect.
