Lonely Planet review for Jardin Majorelle & Museum of Islamic Art

Owned by the Pierre Bergé-Yves Saint-Laurent Foundation, this exotic sub-tropical garden provides a haven away from the hectic pace outside. The garden was designed by the French painter Jacques Majorelle, who lived here from 1922 to 1962. In among the cooling water features, the cacti, majestic palm trees and cascades of bougainvillaea, is a small museum.

The museum contains one of those Moroccan collections you'd love to scoop up and take home, including Berber and Tuareg jewellery and textiles, carpets, wedding curtains and cobalt blue pottery - all labelled in Arabic and French. Another room is dedicated to Majorelle's work.

    Jardin Majorelle

    goodmoroccan recommends this,

    A truly wonderful escape from the hectic city life of Marrakesh. Ideal for garden and non-garden lovers alike.
