The Agdal garden neighboring the royal palace in the south was constructed by the historian El Haj Ya'is of the Almohad dynasty in 1156, and the historian came from the renowned Koutoubia area. Agdal’s old meaning is a garden, and the name was given by the Berbers. The word Aguedal used to describe the garden has relations to water. This area has been using the underground water since the 11th century, and people built reservoirs in the valley Ourika later. The two large reservoirs guarantee that there is enough rain water storage, and the larger Es Sala Reservoir is used to train soldiers to swim.
