Majorelle Gardens are very popular in Marrakech, located northeast at La Medina, first open to public in 1947. French artist Jacques Majorelle created these gardens in 1925 to be inspired on. Since 1980, Yves Saint Laurent owns the gardens. There’s a small Islamic Art Museum inside.
Majorelle offers a wide range of plants: cactus, bamboo, garden and water plants, even palms, are some of the diversity we can find here.
Compared to popular Menara Gardens, is very common to find out that Majorelle are more beautiful as well as we can enjoy a bigger shadow and fresh, due to its leafy trees. During warm days, these gardens become paradise.
Majorelle gardens can be visited from June to September, from 8am to 6pm. The rest of the year, from 8am to 5.30pm. Entry costs up to 50 dirhams and the Islamic art museum, 25 dirhams.
To reach the gardens, we can go by taxi from Jamaa el Fna square, just for 20 dirhams. Besides, within 1,5 km area, we have Marrakech new city, Gueliz; Medersa Ben Youseff, Marrakech Museum or Koutobia mosque.
