Majorelle Garden Marrakech Tickets: Prices, Slots and Visit Plan

Majorelle Garden Marrakech tickets cost 170 MAD for garden-only entry or 330 MAD for a combined ticket covering the garden and both museums. Tickets must be purchased online only for specific 30-minute time slots.

Start with the right ticket

The 170 MAD garden-only ticket is the straightforward choice for a Majorelle Garden visit focused on paths, planting, architecture and photography. It covers the garden itself, whose current area is listed as 1.2 hectares, and suits visitors who want to spend their available time outside rather than moving between collections.

The 330 MAD combined museum ticket covers Jardin Majorelle, the Pierre Bergé Museum of Berber Arts and the Musée Yves Saint Laurent Marrakech. Choose it only if those two museums fit your schedule. The combined price is not simply a faster garden ticket; it adds access to both museum venues.

The supplied ticket information does not list prices for every possible pairing, such as the garden with only one museum. Do not assume that an unlisted combination costs a proportional amount. Check the official ticket website before payment if you want anything other than the garden-only or combined option.

For a photography-focused visit, the garden-only ticket keeps the plan clean. A typical garden visit lasts 45 minutes to 1 hour, but the 90-minute route later in this guide gives you more time to work through the blue structures, bamboo and cacti without treating museum interiors as part of the garden.

The combined ticket makes more sense if you want to see the garden and both museums during their separate opening windows. The Pierre Bergé Museum contains over 600 artifacts, while the Musée Yves Saint Laurent Marrakech is a separate venue with its own timetable. Your garden entry slot does not remove those timing limits.

Compare admission costs and hours

Option or venue Price Opening window Last entry Jardin Majorelle garden-only 170 MAD 8:00–17:30 daily 17:00 Garden plus both museums 330 MAD Follow each venue’s hours Follow each venue’s cutoff Pierre Bergé Museum of Berber Arts Included in combined ticket 8:30–17:00 daily 16:30 Musée Yves Saint Laurent Marrakech Included in combined ticket 10:00–18:00, except Wednesdays 17:30

Jardin Majorelle opens at 8:00, with last entry at 17:00, and closes at 17:30. Tickets use specific 30-minute slots, so a late booking must arrive before the cutoff.

The Pierre Bergé Museum of Berber Arts opens at 8:30, stops entry at 16:30, and closes at 17:00. The Musée Yves Saint Laurent Marrakech opens at 10:00, admits visitors until 17:30, and closes at 18:00. It is closed every Wednesday, so combined-ticket visitors should check the schedule before planning both museums.

Jardin Majorelle receives over 600,000 visitors annually; another estimate places attendance around 900,000 per year. Demand can therefore be high. Tickets must be purchased online only at the official website.

A taxi from Jemaa el-Fna costs approximately 20–40 MAD. The garden is in the Guéliz district, approximately 2 kilometers from the medina.

Book your 30-minute entry slot

Majorelle Garden tickets must be purchased online only through the official website. There is no entrance-purchase fallback in the supplied official rule, so complete the booking before setting out for Guéliz.

Use this sequence:

1. Open the official ticket website and select Jardin Majorelle.
2. Choose garden-only admission or the combined ticket covering the garden and both museums.
3. Select an available 30-minute entry slot.
4. Check the date, ticket type and visitor details before paying.
5. Save the confirmation where you can display it at arrival.
6. Recheck the venue hours, especially if your combined ticket includes the Musée Yves Saint Laurent Marrakech.

The slot is an arrival window, not a promise that you will be inside the garden immediately at its opening minute. A queue can still form around the entrance, particularly during peak season. Treat the selected time as the start of your arrival plan and leave room for the reported entry wait.

Keep the ticket decision tied to the day you actually have. If you want only photographs and garden paths, the 170 MAD option avoids paying for two museums you may not reach. If you want all three venues, select the 330 MAD ticket and build the schedule around the earliest museum cutoff: 16:30 at the Pierre Bergé Museum.

Do not book a Wednesday museum plan for the Yves Saint Laurent Museum. It is closed that day, even though Jardin Majorelle and the Pierre Bergé Museum have daily opening information supplied.

Plan around peak-season availability

Peak-season waits to enter can range from 15 minutes to 1 hour. That queue is separate from your 30-minute booking slot, so a slot that looks convenient on paper may occupy more of the day than expected once arrival and entry are included.

Book as soon as your date is settled during busy periods. The supplied sources do not publish a guaranteed number of remaining places for each slot, so no one can promise that a particular morning window will still be available. The practical response is to avoid building an immovable schedule around the last available slot.

For garden-only visitors, an earlier 30-minute slot leaves more daylight for the 90-minute garden route and more flexibility if the queue reaches the longer end of the 15-minute-to-1-hour range. A later slot can work, but remember that last entry is 17:00, not 17:30.

Combined-ticket visitors need to match the slot to museum hours. The Pierre Bergé Museum closes at 17:00 and stops entry at 16:30, while the Yves Saint Laurent Museum closes at 18:00 and stops entry at 17:30. A late garden arrival may leave too little time for the museum with the earlier cutoff.

Attendance estimates of over 600,000 and around 900,000 visitors per year indicate sustained demand, although they are not a forecast for your exact date. Use them as a reason to book online early, not as evidence that every day has the same queue.

The simplest timing rule is to separate three moments: your selected entry slot, the possible entrance wait, and the time spent inside. That prevents the common mistake of treating a 30-minute slot as a guaranteed 30-minute arrival-to-exit visit.

Follow a 90-minute garden route

This 90-minute garden route focuses only on Jardin Majorelle. It excludes the Pierre Bergé Museum of Berber Arts and the Musée Yves Saint Laurent Marrakech as garden stops, even with the 330 MAD combined ticket.

Start at the art deco studio designed by architect Paul Sinoir in 1931. Spend time photographing its blue walls, doorways, planting and paths together rather than isolating one façade. Move through areas where the blue structures frame the garden, looking for wall lines, doorways or narrow views between plants.

Use the bamboo as the route’s depth section. Photograph through the stems toward a blue surface or open path, and pause for a second pass if visitors crowd the frame.

Then move toward the cacti and contrasting plant forms. The garden contains approximately 300 plant species, so vary your compositions. Use cacti as silhouettes or textured foreground against painted walls, or isolate their texture in a closer frame.

Reserve the final part of the 90-minute route for revisiting the strongest blue, bamboo and cactus angles. This allows time for clear compositions, since a garden-only visit typically lasts 45 minutes to 1 hour.

Jacques Majorelle began creating the garden in 1923, opened it to the public in 1947, and developed the distinctive color known as Majorelle blue in 1937. These dates provide context without adding museum stops.

Find the strongest photography angles

For Majorelle blue photography, begin with structure rather than flowers. Place a blue wall or architectural edge along one side of the frame and let the path lead toward it. This gives the cobalt surface direction instead of producing a flat image of painted color.

The art deco studio can anchor the composition, linking planting with architecture. Photograph its full geometry, then try partial views: a blue corner behind foliage, a doorway interrupted by bamboo, or a hard line beside a rounded cactus. These options make the same color read differently.

Use bamboo as a foreground frame, with stems close to the lens and a blue structure behind them. The verticals can hide part of the building while retaining enough color to identify the setting. If visitors interrupt the central view, move to a side angle rather than waiting for an empty scene.

Cacti offer contrast: broad, spiked or sculptural forms against smooth painted surfaces. Take one lower viewpoint so the cactus rises into the frame, then another that gives the architecture more space. Keep both plant and wall recognizable.

Jacques Majorelle created Majorelle blue in 1937. Build a route around blue with bamboo, cactus and architectural detail, remembering that shade changes its appearance. Make an establishing photograph, a layered bamboo frame and a cactus-and-architecture contrast. The garden covers approximately 8,000 to 9,000 square meters; another figure gives the current garden as 1.2 hectares. Leave time to walk between views.

Choose the 170 MAD garden-only ticket for an outdoor-focused visit or Majorelle blue photography. It suits a shorter visit: the garden alone typically takes 45 minutes to 1 hour.

Choose the 330 MAD combined ticket when both museums are planned for the same day. The Pierre Bergé Museum of Berber Arts and Musée Yves Saint Laurent Marrakech have different opening windows, so confirm your schedule reaches both.

The supplied facts do not state the price paid by Yves Saint Laurent and Pierre Bergé when they acquired the garden in 1980. They also omit staff numbers, annual maintenance costs, plant origins, flowering calendars, restoration duration and the exact Majorelle blue formula.

Accessibility details are not supplied. If you need step-free access, seating or mobility assistance, contact the official venue before paying; missing information does not confirm that every need is covered.

Check your final visit timing

Before paying, confirm these points:

• Your choice is 170 MAD garden-only or 330 MAD for the garden and both museums.
• Your Jardin Majorelle slot is a specific 30-minute entry slot.
• The garden’s last entry is 17:00, with opening from 8:00 to 17:30.
• The Pierre Bergé Museum’s last entry is 16:30, before its 17:00 closing.
• The Musée Yves Saint Laurent Marrakech is open 10:00–18:00, except Wednesdays, with last entry at 17:30.
• Your plan allows for a possible 15-minute-to-1-hour peak-season queue.
• Your intended route is garden-only if you want the 90-minute photography plan.
• You have checked the official ticket website for any accommodation questions not answered in the supplied information.

That final check prevents the most expensive mistake: paying for the combined museum ticket while leaving too little time for one of its venues.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I buy Majorelle Garden tickets at the entrance?

No. The supplied official rule says Majorelle Garden tickets must be purchased online only through the official website. Select your ticket type and specific 30-minute entry slot before arriving, then keep the booking confirmation available for the entrance process.

How long should I allow for Majorelle Garden without the museums?

Allow 45 minutes to 1 hour for a typical garden-only visit, or 90 minutes for the photography-focused route described here. The longer plan gives you time to work through Majorelle blue structures, bamboo and cacti without entering either museum collection.

What time does the Pierre Bergé Museum stop admitting visitors?

The Pierre Bergé Museum of Berber Arts stops admitting visitors at 16:30 and closes at 17:00. It opens daily at 8:30. If you hold the 330 MAD combined ticket, plan this museum around its earlier cutoff rather than Jardin Majorelle’s 17:00 last entry.

Can I visit the Yves Saint Laurent Museum every day?

No. The Musée Yves Saint Laurent Marrakech is closed every Wednesday. On other days it opens from 10:00 to 18:00, with last entry at 17:30. Check the weekday before selecting the 330 MAD combined museum ticket.

How long might I wait to enter during peak season?

Peak-season waits can range from 15 minutes to 1 hour. That queue is separate from your timed 30-minute entry slot, so allow additional time between arrival and entering Jardin Majorelle, especially if your schedule also includes the museums.
