Jardin Majorelle in Marrakesh is a meticulously designed botanical garden created by French painter Jacques Majorelle in the 1920s and 1930s. Spanning two acres, it features an array of exotic plants, striking fountains, and its signature Majorelle Blue, a vivid cobalt shade that accentuates the garden's unique character. After falling into neglect, it was restored in the 1980s by Yves Saint Laurent and Pierre Bergé, who preserved its artistic and botanical heritage. Today, it houses the Berber Museum, showcasing Amazigh culture through textiles, jewelry, and artifacts. Its tranquil paths and lush greenery offer a striking contrast to the bustling streets of Marrakesh.

I’m a little bit disappointed by the garden it’s small more than what I thought ! But yes the color here are nice and it a nice place to take pictures I really recommend people to take they ticket in advance on the website and choose they early hours so you wouldn’t have too much people there especially in the morning think that at 11am there will be a lot of people so if you want to enjoy and take your time and make good pictures without rushing go in the morning you make the tour of the garden in 30min maximum They have guard posted like everywhere they are nice

The garden is really nice, some of the plants are truly awesome. It is just a small place you slowly stroll in 15 minutes. It is definitely NOT worth the money you pay for the entrance. Cannot imagine to go there again.

Absolutely beautiful place to visit. Hard to believe that such a peaceful place exists in bustling Marrakesh. You must book your tickets in advance It makes totally sense as you can enjoy the place without it being too crowded.

We booked online and in advance as advised by our hotel host. You get to choose a time to visit, I'd say plan to be there for about an hour to make the most of it. The place is really beautiful and really well kept. We didn't go to the museum, just the garden is well worth the visit. Gorgeous vibrant colors and lots of exotic plants, especially cacti and succulents.

calm and beautiful gardens. Little expensive compared to other attractions around there. There was a nice small coffee place inside. I would recommend booking in advance for morning hours. (Didn’t like the museum)
