Marrakesh: Majorelle Garden Entry Tickets

2.Majorelle Garden Entry Tickets

★★★★★★★★★★4.5 · 9,651 reviews · 1 hour · from $31

Visit Majorelle Garden independently with a timed entry ticket. Spend about an hour among cacti, bamboo, fountains, and exotic plants surrounding Jacques Majorelle’s famous blue villa. Your QR ticket arrives by email the day before. This ticket covers the garden only, not the Yves Saint Laurent Museum or Pierre Bergé Museum.

“Tickets arrived by email and were accepted with no issues. I would have booked tickets via the venue but they didn't have availability for the day so this booking was worthwhile. This was an unguided trip which was fine, a guide was not necessary. I highly recommend a trip to Majorelle.”

Lahcen was patient as me and my wife were a few minutes late. The drive felt safe and we visited and rode the camels at the desert and then rode towards the atlas mountain which gave some great views. Lahcen has great knowledge of the area and definitely expanded my knowledge on the history of Morocco. Highly recommend as it is great value for money.”
