Admission to Majorelle Garden costs 150 dirhams (about €14). The combined ticket including Majorelle Garden, the Yves Saint Laurent Museum, and the Museum of Islamic Art in Marrakech (located inside Majorelle Garden) usually has a special price. It is important to check updated prices and possible discounts on the official website: Majorelle Garden Prices.

To fully enjoy Majorelle Garden and, if you choose, visit the Berber Museum and the boutique, I recommend allowing between 1 and 2 hours. If you enjoy photography or simply sitting and appreciating the calm, you may want to extend your stay a little longer. The atmosphere is very relaxing.

Majorelle Garden was created in 1924 by the French painter Jacques Majorelle, who devoted 40 years to its creation. After his death, the garden was acquired and restored by Yves Saint Laurent and Pierre Bergé in 1980, saving it from demolition. Its importance lies in its stunning botanical diversity, its distinctive "Majorelle blue" color, and its legacy as an oasis of art and tranquility in bustling Marrakesh. It was also the final resting place of Yves Saint Laurent.

The best time to visit Marrakesh and, therefore, Majorelle Garden is during spring (March to May) and autumn (September to November), when temperatures are more pleasant. As for the time of day, I suggest going early in the morning, right when it opens, or late in the afternoon. This way you will avoid the crowds and the midday heat, enjoying a calmer experience with better light for photos.

Yes, Majorelle Garden is designed to be mostly accessible. Its paths are flat and well maintained, making access easier for wheelchairs or strollers. However, some specific areas or steps inside the Berber Museum may present limitations. We recommend contacting the garden directly for more detailed information if you have particular needs. You can find their contact information on the official website in the 'Contact' section.

Very close to Majorelle Garden is the Yves Saint Laurent Museum Marrakech, an essential stop for lovers of fashion and history. Also nearby, you can find the Marrakesh Palm Grove, ideal for a camel ride, or explore the souks and the lively Jemaa el-Fnaa Square, which is about 15 to 20 minutes away by taxi or bus.

Of course, here are some tips: First, buy your ticket online if possible to save time queuing, although in this case tickets are bought at the ticket office, which is why arriving early is important. Second, wear comfortable shoes so you can stroll peacefully along the paths. Third, do not forget your camera, the place is incredibly photogenic! Fourth, consider visiting the Berber Museum inside the garden to learn about local culture. And finally, treat yourself to a moment on one of the benches and simply enjoy the serenity of the place and its colors.
