The water Gardens

 These are a series of striking and elaborate pools, symmetrically placed and fed by a complex system of underground pipes.  Attesting to the ingenuity of the ancient hydraulic engineers, some of the fountains of the garden are still in working order.  These gardens, according to the traditional accounts, were  the  bathing  places  of  the  king’s  concubines  who  were  drawn  from many different races.
