The Agdal Basin in Meknes, Morocco, is an impressive historical reservoir that dates back to the 17th century. Constructed during the reign of Sultan Moulay Ismail, it was designed as a crucial water source for the sultan's extensive gardens and for the nearby royal stables, which housed thousands of horses. The basin highlights the ingenuity of Moroccan hydraulic engineering, featuring a vast rectangular expanse surrounded by a serene landscape.
