Is the Majorelle Garden Worth It?

For most first visits to Marrakech, yes: the Jardin Majorelle is a walled garden of 9,000 square metres that the painter Jacques Majorelle built up over forty years from 1922, with planted beds from distant countries, pools and bold-coloured buildings, and it costs 170 DH for about an hour at the garden’s own ticket office (November 2026). It is less certain value if you have one day in the city and the medina is the point of the trip. Global Tours And Tickets’ Marrakesh: Majorelle Garden Entry Tickets, refundable up to 5 days before, was per person from $30, checked November 2026.

The calendar above is the garden-only ticket, with 13,962 reviews (checked November 2026).

The short answer

Go if you like gardens, colour, architecture or fashion, and give it a morning with both museums if Yves Saint Laurent means anything to you. Keep it to the garden alone, an hour, if you are short of time. Leave it out only if you have a single day and want every hour of it in the old city: the garden is outside the walls, 2.8 km on foot from Jemaa el-Fna.

Who it suits

Prices, ratings and review counts from the listings (GetYourGuide checked November 2026). Ticket agents price by date and season, so treat the figures as the shape of the market, not a quote.

Garden lovers and photographers get the most from an hour here: a collection of plants from far-off places laid out around pools and painted buildings, on paths you walk at your own pace. The garden’s rules ban commercial photography and filming. Fashion and design visitors should take the combined ticket: the YSL museum down the street has a permanent exhibition of the designer’s work and a temporary hall, and the Berber museum inside the garden holds the collection Berge and Saint Laurent built up. Families pay nothing for children under 10, and the garden and museums are accessible to people with reduced mobility.

Check dates for the garden

What it costs, honestly

At the garden’s own ticket office the garden costs 170 DH and the garden with both museums 330 DH, for foreign visitors at the public rate (November 2026). Resold tickets cost more; what they add is free cancellation up to 5 days before and the slot booked for you, where the garden’s own tickets cannot be refunded. Add the trip there and back: a walk of 2.8 km each way from Jemaa el-Fna, or a petit taxi. Majorelle Garden ticket prices has every rate.

When to keep it short

The garden is small: 9,000 square metres, about an hour’s walk at an easy pace. If your time in Marrakech is a single day, the garden alone fits in a morning slot, and the medina is the afternoon; skip the museums rather than the garden. If you arrive in the afternoon, mind the last entries: 17:00 for the garden and 16:30 for the Berber museum. And on a Wednesday the YSL museum is closed, so the combined ticket waits for another day; opening hours has the details.
