Majorelle Garden: Which Ticket, What Price, and What Resale Doesn't Tell You
Updated October 1, 2026 · 7 min read
Majorelle Garden entry costs 170 dirhams at the official ticket office, around €15.60. Online, the Majorelle Garden entry ticket is listed at €26.90: around seven euros more per person, which buys a slot booked in advance, payment in euros and free cancellation up to five days before the date. It’s the right choice for most visitors, and it’s the most-reviewed entry ticket in Marrakesh on GetYourGuide, with 13,795 reviews and 4.5 out of 5. Families who qualify for free entry or a reduced rate, on the other hand, are better off at the official ticket office: under ten, entry is free.

The price at the official ticket office
The Foundation publishes its rates on its own website. Garden entry costs 170 dirhams. Reduced rates, on presentation of proof: 75 dirhams for Moroccan citizens and foreign residents in Morocco, 40 dirhams for national students, 95 dirhams for international students and children aged 10 and over.
Entry is free for children under 10 accompanied by an adult, for people with disabilities on presentation of a card, for ICOM members, for official guides and travel agents with a valid card, for school groups on written request one month in advance, and for accredited press on request 72 hours in advance, weekends not included.
The Pierre Bergé Museum of Berber Arts, located inside the garden, is paid for separately: 60 dirhams, with the same scale of reductions and free entry.
At around 10.90 dirhams to the euro, the garden’s 170 dirhams work out at roughly €15.60.
What resale costs, and what it buys you
The gap between the ticket office and the €22.49 ticket sold online is therefore around seven euros per person, and it buys three real things: a slot booked in advance, payment in euros, and free cancellation up to five days before the date.
It also costs something less visible: the reduced rates disappear. A family of four with two eleven-year-olds pays 2 × 170 + 2 × 95 dirhams at the official ticket office, that is 530 dirhams — around €48.60 at the day’s exchange rate. The same family pays 4 × €22.49, that is €89.96, if it buys four adult tickets on resale. With children under ten, who get in free, the gap widens further.
The Foundation is also explicit on its website: its online ticketing is, it states, the only official site where you can get a valid QR code, it disclaims all responsibility for tickets sold on unauthorised sites, and the garden’s page specifies that tickets can only be bought online. This isn’t an accusation against any particular reseller — the offers mentioned here are marketed by agencies that do send a QR code — but it’s a sentence we’d rather show you than let you discover at the entrance.
The five formulas sold online, in detail
The simple ticket. The Majorelle Garden entry ticket, one hour, states in black and white on its booking page what many buyers discover on site: “this activity covers only entry to Majorelle Garden. It does NOT include access to the YSL museum or the Pierre Bergé museum.” Worth flagging: its list of inclusions also mentions a guide and hotel pickup, while the same page states further down that there’s no meeting point and that you go in alone. Check the exact option before you pay.
The ticket with audio guide. The Majorelle Garden with a digital audio guide app, €34.90, adds a digital audio guide app. Its page sets two conditions that are easy to miss: the audio guide covers only the garden, not the museums, and it requires your own headphones and a charged phone. It’s the only one of the formulas on this page marked “wheelchair accessible”. It has only 26 reviews, for 3.9 out of 5: the lowest-rated on this page.
The combined ticket with the museums. The Majorelle Garden, YSL and Berber Museum entry, €49.90 for two hours, is the second most-reviewed garden formula with 8,832 reviews and 4.6 out of 5. It’s the one that settles, in one go, the question the simple ticket leaves open, since both museums are included.

The ticket with carriage ride. The Majorelle Garden with horse-drawn carriage ride, €60.45 for 3.5 hours, combines garden entry, a horse-drawn carriage ride and a café break. Here you’re mainly paying for the carriage and the transport.
The ticket with private transfer. The Majorelle Garden and YSL Museums with transfer, €102.20 for four hours, adds both museums and private transfers from your hotel. It has only 11 reviews, which isn’t much to judge by.
If the museums interest you, the comparison between the simple ticket and the combined ticket deserves its own page: we’ve covered it in our guide Majorelle, YSL and the Berber Museum.
Opening hours, and the rules that can really ruin a visit
The Foundation states that the garden is open every day from 8 am to 6:30 pm, last entry 6 pm. The Pierre Bergé Museum of Berber Arts opens from 8:30 am to 6 pm, last entry 5:30 pm. The private garden at Villa Oasis is closed on Wednesdays; on other days it opens from 8 am to 5:30 pm, last entry 5 pm.
The booking pages add a series of conditions that are worth reading before you set off:
- The GetYourGuide voucher is not your ticket. Tickets with a QR code are sent by email the day before the booked date, which is why the pages insist on a valid, checkable email address.
- Your entry time can be brought forward or pushed back by 30 minutes depending on availability.
- ID or a passport is required.
- Not allowed: animals, smoking, luggage and large bags, food, and unaccompanied minors. Commercial photography and video are not permitted.
- If the garden closes for maintenance, security or weather conditions, no refund or reduction is provided.
- In high season, waiting times can be long.
This last point isn’t just a figure of speech. Recent reviews on the simple ticket all come back to the same advice: arrive at opening time. The garden covers 9,000 m², the stated duration for simple tickets is one hour, and the narrow paths concentrate a lot of people around the same viewpoints.
When it’s not a good idea
Majorelle Garden is small and heavily visited. If you’re after a long botanical stroll, an hour at opening time will be enough and you’ll leave happy; at midday and in high season, you’ll spend part of that hour waiting your turn in front of the blue villa. Several travellers find the ticket expensive for the amount of ground covered, and that’s a fair criticism, not a minor detail.
With very young children, on the other hand, the bill comes out lighter than elsewhere: under ten, entry is free at the official ticket office. The rest of our ideas for the city are gathered in Marrakesh with Kids.
Our recommendation
For most visitors, take the Majorelle Garden entry ticket at €26.90: it’s by far the most-reviewed, 13,795 reviews and 4.5 out of 5, and the seven extra euros over the ticket office buy a slot, payment in euros and free cancellation up to five days before. Aim for the first hour of opening. It isn’t the right choice if the museums interest you — it explicitly excludes them — or if your group qualifies for free entry or reduced rates at the ticket office.
If you also want the YSL museum and the Berber museum, take the Majorelle Garden, YSL and Berber Museum ticket at €49.90 for two hours, 4.6 out of 5 for 8,832 reviews. Allow half a morning instead of an hour.
If budget decides, go to the official ticket office: 170 dirhams for entry, around €15.60, and free entry under ten. You lose the booked slot and the free cancellation, and you pay in dirhams.
Finally, if you’re travelling as a couple and want a whole afternoon rather than a visit, the Majorelle Garden with horse-drawn carriage ride at €60.45 adds the carriage and a café break — but it’s the carriage you’re paying for, not the garden. All the visit options are gathered on our page Majorelle Garden tickets.
