Majorelle Garden in Marrakech: Tickets, Prices and the YSL Museum
In the Guéliz district, a few minutes from the medina, Majorelle Garden is one of the most photographed spots in Marrakech: cobalt-blue buildings, bamboo groves, cacti and lily ponds, all created by French painter Jacques Majorelle and later rescued from disrepair by Yves Saint Laurent. Two real tickets let you visit it, with or without the adjacent YSL museum — here's how to choose.
Majorelle Garden is an Art Deco botanical garden in the Guéliz district of Marrakech, created by French painter Jacques Majorelle starting in 1923 and later restored by Yves Saint Laurent and Pierre Bergé in 1980. Two real tickets exist: the garden-only entry (€23, about 1 hour, rated 4.5/5 from 11,610 reviews) and the combined ticket covering the garden plus the Yves Saint Laurent museum and the Berber museum (€39, about 2 hours, rated 4.6/5 from 7,016 reviews). It's one of Marrakech's most visited paid attractions and often gets crowded mid-morning: book a timed-entry slot in advance and aim for opening time or late afternoon to avoid the worst crowds. The combined ticket suits you if you also want to see Saint Laurent's fashion collections and Amazigh Berber art, housed in two separate buildings on the same site.
Garden-only ticket or combined ticket with the museums?
Two different approaches depending on your interest:
- Garden-only ticket: for a short visit focused on the botanical garden itself — bamboo groves, cacti, lily ponds and the Bleu Majorelle buildings.
- Combined ticket for the garden + YSL museum + Berber museum: the fullest option, adding the Yves Saint Laurent museum (fashion collections) and the Berber museum (Amazigh art and craftsmanship), both located on the garden's grounds.

How the visit unfolds

- Arrive at the garden entrance on Avenue Yacoub El Mansour, Guéliz district
- Explore the bamboo groves, palm trees, cacti and lily ponds at your own pace (about 1 hour)

Should you get the combined ticket with the YSL museum?
The Musée Yves Saint Laurent Marrakech, opened in 2017, is a separate but adjacent building dedicated to the designer's haute couture collections. The Berber museum occupies the garden's original Islamic Art museum building, built by Jacques Majorelle, and displays Amazigh jewellery, textiles and craftwork. Neither museum is included in the garden-only ticket: if fashion and Berber art interest you, the €39 combined ticket is the logical choice; for a simple stroll through the garden, the €23 ticket is enough.
