Moreover, this type of "enclosed garden (hortus conclusus)" was often imagined as a scene of sexual activity between men and women as a "garden of pleasure (hortus deliciarum)" and was actually used, which also supports the idea that gardens are paradises. The reason why Arabian gardens are richly equipped with ponds and fountains bordered by date palms and other plants is because the prototype of paradise in the culture of that region was the oasis.
