Majorelle Garden (Jardin Majorelle) Tours and Tickets

The Majorelle Garden is open daily year-round, even during Ramadan and other holidays. Opening hours are typically 8am-6.30pm for the gardens, while the on-site Pierre Bergé Museum of Berber Arts closes 30 minutes earlier at 6pm. Last entry to both attractions is 30 minutes prior to closing.

Yes, admission to the Majorelle Garden also includes access to the Pierre Bergé Museum of Berber Arts. Housed in Jacques Majorelle’s former art studio, the museum houses more than 600 items belonging to the Amazigh or Berber people of North Africa, including traditional artworks, handicrafts, clothing, jewelry, and other artifacts.

The Majorelle Garden (Jardin Majorelle) is located in Marrakech’s Nouvelle Ville (New Town) outside of the walled Medina (Old Town). It’s possible to walk from the Bab Doukkala gate to the garden in about 20 minutes. Alternatively, hop in a taxi.

The Majorelle Garden was first owned by French artist Jacques Majorelle, who bought the palm grove in 1923, built the art deco-style villa and studio (now a museum), and created the magnificent gardens. The property and gardens were later bought and renovated by Yves Saint Laurent and Pierre Bergé.

The Majorelle Garden owes its existence to Jacques Majorelle, who originally bought the land and designed the magnificent gardens. In 1980, it was acquired by Yves Saint Laurent and Pierre Bergé—the joint founders of the designer’s namesake fashion house—who saved the site from being demolished by developers. French architect Paul Sinoir designed the art deco-style villa.

The gardens feature more than 300 plant species collected by Jacques Majorelle on his travels over five continents. Stroll through beautiful bamboo groves, towering cacti, colorful bougainvillea, and ponds filled with water lilies. Equally striking are the bright blue and yellow buildings, which mix art deco and Moorish designs.
