Majorelle Botanical Garden and Hidden Bazaars of Marrakech

Overview

Step away from the energy of the Medina and into a quieter, more contemplative side of Marrakech. This half-day experience begins at the serene Jardin Majorelle, one of the city’s most celebrated spaces, where bold color, botanical rarity, and modernist design come together in striking harmony.

Created by French artist Jacques Majorelle and later restored by Yves Saint Laurent, the garden unfolds through shaded paths, cobalt-blue structures, bamboo groves, and water features dotted with lilies and lotus flowers. The visit offers both visual beauty and historical context, revealing the artistic vision and cultural influences that shaped this iconic garden.

The journey continues into the souks at an unhurried pace, moving through select markets known for craftsmanship, scent, and texture. Guided with discretion and ease, the experience balances elegance, discovery, and time to simply observe—offering a refined introduction to Marrakech beyond its bustle.

Morning and afternoon departures are available, with all entrance fees and transfers included.
