The Art and Gardens of Marrakech with Majorelle Garden, Menara Garden and Classic Horse Carriage Ride
Overview
Two of Marrakech's great gardens in a single private half-day: Jacques Majorelle's cobalt villa with its bamboo groves and rare cacti, and the wide olive orchard and still-water basin of the Menara. Between them comes a horse-drawn carriage ride at walking pace through Gueliz and Hivernage, past the ramparts and palm-lined avenues. The vehicle, the driver and the pacing belong to your party alone.
Highlights
- Majorelle Garden with entrance fees covered — cobalt pavilion, bamboo and rare cacti
- The Menara's twelfth-century olive grove and reflecting basin, the Atlas on the horizon
- A classic horse-drawn caleche through Gueliz, Hivernage and along the medina walls
- Private throughout, at whatever pace suits your party
- City centre hotel pick-up and drop-off, with no queuing at the gate
Full Description
Jardin Majorelle
The garden Jacques Majorelle planted around his studio and painted that unmistakable blue, later rescued and restored by Yves Saint Laurent. Cactus beds, bamboo walks, lily pools and the Berber Museum sit within the walls.
Menara Garden
A vast olive orchard laid out in the twelfth century around a still reservoir, with a green-roofed pavilion at its edge. On clear days the snowline of the Atlas sits directly behind the water.
Gueliz and Hivernage
The carriage takes over here, rolling through the wide boulevards of the new town and the villa-lined streets of Hivernage. The pace is slow enough to actually look at the ramparts and jacarandas.
City Centre
The carriage ride closes back in the centre, where the driver collects you for the return to your hotel.
