Is Jardin Majorelle worth visiting?

The short answer

Yes, if you book a timed ticket and go early. Jardin Majorelle is the cobalt-blue garden Jacques Majorelle made and Yves Saint Laurent and Pierre Bergé saved, with a museum of Amazigh arts in the villa. Allow 45 to 60 minutes for the garden, or two to three hours with both museums. The 08:00 slot is the best.

In more detail

Tickets are timed and sold only through the official site, tickets.jardinmajorelle.com. When we checked in October 2026, the garden opened daily from 08:00 to 17:30, with last entry at 17:00, and the Berber museum from 08:30 to 17:00. The official page still showed old notices, and other pages give later summer hours, so check when you book.

The garden is in Gueliz, about 10 minutes by petit taxi from Jemaa el-Fnaa. The Musée Yves Saint Laurent is a minute from the garden gate, so many visitors do the garden first and the museum late morning.

It gets busy, and the paths are narrow in places. The early slot gives you the blue walls and the paths before the crowds.

Good to know

  • Book the earliest timed slot you can.
  • Buy only from the official ticket site.
  • Add the Musée Yves Saint Laurent next door; it closes on Wednesdays.
