You step through an ochre gate into a pocket of cool—cerulean walls, fountains that chatter, and palms fanning sunlight into shadow. The Majorelle Garden feels like a measured pause from Marrakech’s medina; bougainvillea and towering cacti incline as if to show you the next secret corner, while koi move through lily-padded pools that reflect the garden’s intense blues.
