History
Jardins Majorelle was built by painter Jacques Majorelle in the 1920s and later protected and restored by Yves Saint Laurent; the Palmeraie evolved from traditional irrigation and palm cultivation on Marrakech’s outskirts.
Conservation
The garden is water-conscious and relies on careful plant selection; visitors should stick to paths and avoid feeding animals to reduce local ecological impact.

Visit Early or Late
Book a morning or late-afternoon slot to avoid midday heat and the largest crowds in the garden.
Sun Protection
Wear a wide-brim hat, sunscreen, and sunglasses — shade in the Palmeraie is patchy between palms.
Stable Footwear
Closed-toe shoes with a firm sole make walking gravel paths and climbing on/off camels easier and safer.
Respect Local Customs
Bring a light scarf for visits to homes or when meeting local hosts; ask before photographing people inside private tents.
Sun hat or cap
