Marrakesh is one of the biggest cities in Morocco and home to the country’s busiest traditional markets, but did you know it also houses some of the most beautiful gardens in the world? If you’re planning to visit this city, checking out these three spots is an absolute must.
Jardin Majorelle
Majorelle Garden is one of the city’s most picturesque spots thanks to its striking royal blue walls, lavish fountains, and an extensive collection of sculptures, cacti, and other exotic plants. There are several museums on its premises, most notably the Islamic Art Museum of Marrakech.
Le Jardin Secret
One of Marrakesh’s best-hidden secrets, this privately owned garden is now open to the public for a small entrance fee. It consists of a restored 19th-century old palace and traditional Islamic gardens, but you can also find a shop and café on the premises.
Menara Gardens
This botanical garden is located west of Marrakesh and the garden pavilion is its centerpiece. One of the things that make it so striking is the breathtaking views at the Atlas Mountains and the artificial lake, orchards, and olive groves that surround the pavilion.
