Yes, Majorelle Garden is worth visiting. An attraction rarely appeals to both fashion fans and gardening enthusiasts, but Majorelle Garden manages to capture both of their attention with its Yves Saint Laurent connection and botanical displays. Plus, the electric blue and yellow buildings and plant pots are the perfect backdrop for photos.

Per one customer who booked the Marrakech City Tour with Private Vehicle: Half or Full Day Tour, "Fantastic tour! Jaouad (guide) and Mohammad (driver) were first class! They provided the perfect balance of history/sightseeing, dining, and shopping ... It was time and money well spent, and we would highly recommend this private tour!"

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.
