Then a visit to the prestigious Majorelle garden: a soothing retreat nearby, and yet so far from the city animated by its splendor. You will explore its intriguing history, discover its architecture of French influence and its connection with the famous French designer Yves Saint Laurent and the famous painter/botanist Jacques Majorelle.

You will visit the Saadian tombs, recently discovered and restored in 1917. Because of the beauty of their decoration, these tombs are a major attraction for visitors to Marrakech.
