Your visit to Marrakech would be incomplete without spending an hour or two enjoying the beauty and serenity of the Majorelle Gardens, which were established over a period of 40 years by the acclaimed French artist Jacque Majorelle. After the artist’s death, the gardens fell into disrepair until they were bought and restored to their former glory by French designer Yves Saint Laurent. Today the gardens include shady lanes of exotic trees, colorful flowers, cascading streams, and quiet reflective pools that provide locals and visitors (including hundreds of birds) with an oasis of tranquility close to the heart of the city. Besides enjoying the gardens, you can also learn all about the fascinating culture of Morocco’s Berber population at the Berber Museum and visit the gift shop.
