Jardin Majorelle is a botanical garden and artist’s estate in the Guéliz district of Marrakesh, Morocco, once owned by Yves Saint Laurent and Pierre Bergé. This guide covers opening hours, ticket prices, transport, accessibility, and practical visitor tips.
It was last checked in June 2026, when garden admission stood at 170 MAD and tickets remained sold exclusively online, with no ticket office on site, a point some older guides still get wrong.

Jardin Majorelle opening hours
Jardin Majorelle is open every day of the year, from 8:00 a.m. to 6:30 p.m., with last entry at 6:00 p.m. The neighbouring Pierre Bergé Museum of Berber Arts keeps slightly shorter hours, from 8:30 a.m. to 6:00 p.m., with last entry at 5:30 p.m.
The Private Garden of the Villa Oasis is open every day except Wednesday, from 8:00 a.m. to 5:30 p.m., with last entry at 5:00 p.m. Hours may shift slightly during Ramadan, so it is worth checking the official website close to your visit date.
Jardin Majorelle ticket prices
A garden-only ticket costs 170 MAD. Adding the Pierre Bergé Museum of Berber Arts brings the price to 230 MAD, and a combined ticket covering the garden, the Berber Museum, and the Musée Yves Saint Laurent Marrakech starts from 330 MAD.
Reduced rates apply for Moroccan citizens, residents, and students with valid ID, and children under 10 are admitted free. Opening hours and ticket prices were checked on the official website and last updated in June 2026. Every ticket must be bought online in advance, since the on-site ticket office has been closed since January 2023; visitors arriving without a valid QR code are turned away. There is no formal city pass, such as Go City or a Marrakesh CityPass, that includes Jardin Majorelle, so the combined ticket above is the only official way to bundle it with other sites.
How to get to Jardin Majorelle
The garden sits in Guéliz, Marrakesh’s modern new town, about 2 kilometres from the Medina. Most visitors arrive by petit taxi, since the walk from the Medina takes 20 to 30 minutes through busy streets.
A taxi from central Guéliz typically costs 20 to 30 MAD. Agreeing a fare before departure is advisable, since taxis are not always metered, and ride-hailing apps such as Uber are not available, though Careem and inDrive can be used.
Parking at Jardin Majorelle
Paid street parking is available on Rue Yves Saint Laurent and the surrounding streets. The Guéliz area can become congested, particularly between 10:00 a.m. and 2:00 p.m., so a taxi is often easier than driving.
There is no dedicated visitor car park attached to the garden itself.
How long to spend at Jardin Majorelle
Most visitors spend 45 minutes to an hour walking through the garden. Allow extra time for the Pierre Bergé Museum of Berber Arts, where entry can be limited to small groups at busy periods.
Visitors combining the garden with the Musée Yves Saint Laurent Marrakech next door should plan for half a day in total.
Accessibility at Jardin Majorelle
The garden, the Berber Museum, the boutique, and the café are all described by the official site as accessible to visitors with reduced mobility. Paths are mostly gravel, so sturdy, comfortable shoes are recommended regardless of mobility level.
Visitors with specific accessibility needs are advised to contact the Fondation Jardin Majorelle in advance of their visit.
Inside Jardin Majorelle: what to see
The garden covers roughly 9,000 square metres and was developed over forty years by the French painter Jacques Majorelle, beginning in 1922. Winding paths lead between bamboo groves, cactus gardens, bougainvillea, and lily ponds, set against buildings painted in the distinctive cobalt blue now known as Majorelle Blue.
The Cubist villa at the heart of the garden, designed by architect Paul Sinoir, now houses the Pierre Bergé Museum of Berber Arts, inaugurated in 2011. It displays more than 600 objects collected by Pierre Bergé and Yves Saint Laurent, from the Rif Mountains to the Sahara, illustrating Berber (Imazighen) culture and craftsmanship.
A small memorial near the back of the garden commemorates Yves Saint Laurent, whose ashes were scattered here after his death in 2008. Café Bousafsaf, inside the garden, serves drinks and light Moroccan dishes throughout opening hours.
