Mendoubia Garden — Attraction in arrondissement de Tanger-Medina طنجة المدينة

Mendoubia Gardens has some of the oldest trees in Tangier that are more than 700 years old.

The surrounding gardens are a pleasant place to walk, with paved pathways and green lawns.

Here, you can find a place to sit in the shade and relax on a hot summer day. Entrance is at the Grand Socco or from Rue d'Italie (Rue de la Kasbah) on the border of the Medina.

Unfortunately, in 2016, about ten of the older trees in the Mendoubia Gardens near the corner of Avenue Hassan I and Rue d'Italie were irresponsibly and recklessly butchered with their tops completely sawed off, destroying their natural beauty.

On July 31, 2017, while taking photos to document the butchering of old trees at Mendoubia Gardens, I was horrified to witness several cars, not motor scooters, actually driving on the public walkways.

The city of Tangier should fix this situation and put up some no parking signs and make sure that no cars are parking in the Mendoubia Gardens.

A good sign is that in November 2024, heavy-duty equipment was brought in. Grass and shrubs are now being planted to make this tranquil park more beautiful. The cars and trucks that had been parking here (with no traffic police in sight to give a ticket or tow the cars away) are now not being allowed to park in this famous garden.

The trees in Mendoubia Garden that had looked like they were dying or dead due to sawing off tops and large branches are amazingly getting some new...
