Majorelle Garden, Botanical garden in Marrakesh, Morocco
The garden spans 9000 square meters with intersecting pathways, bright blue buildings, water features, and a collection of rare plant specimens from five continents.
French painter Jacques Majorelle established the garden in 1923, and architect Paul Sinoir designed a cubist villa on the property in 1931.
Fashion designer Yves Saint Laurent purchased and restored the declining garden in 1980, preserving its status as a Moroccan cultural heritage site.
The garden welcomes visitors daily from 8:00 AM to 6:30 PM, with adult admission at 120 Moroccan dirhams and free entry for children under five.
The garden features the signature Majorelle Blue paint color on its structures, contrasting with the green vegetation and terracotta containers throughout the space.
