Top 10 Gardens in Marrakech, Marrakech-Tensift-El Haouz Region

October 16, 2021 Viva Honore

The “Red City” of Marrakesh is a magical place, brimming with markets, gardens, palaces, and mosques. Exploring the intimate courtyards and snaking alleyways of the historic Medina can easily eat up a day. Find inner peace at the serene Jardin Majorelle or take in the beauty of one of the city’s historic mosques (taking note that, unless you are Muslim, you are not allowed to enter).

Jardin Majorelle

Nicely designed and maintained gardens, similar to those of Generalife in Granada, Spain. It’s a good place to recoup from the intensity of the market atmosphere.

Le Jardin Secret

The riad-museum Le Jardin Secret is one of the largest and most ancient palaces of the medina of Marrakech. It is a place that has kept ancient structures intact that are of an extraordinary cultural value, linked to the art of gardens, architecture and Arab hydraulics. Popularly known as Riad Loukrissi, it has been the sumptuous residence of the Qaid U-Bihi who was the head of the Haha tribe. The riad rises up in the Mouassine quarter (on the main thoroughfare and but a few steps away from the Mouassine fountain and Mouassine Mosque), and comprises two large gardens and one of the highest towers of the medina. The museum provides you with a wealth of historical information about Marrakech's architecture, water, and gardens. You will also find a boutique, a bookshop and two cafes inside Le Jardin Secret. The cafes offer you up fresh, homemade products that you can eat in lush and peaceful settings.

After hours of walking and bartering your way through the Medina, The Secret Garden is just what you need to reinvigorate yourself before heading back out into the hustle and bustle of one of Morocco's Imperial Cities

André Heller's ANIMA is a magical place of surprising beauty that you wouldn't expect in the loud and crowded area of greater Marrakech.

This charity is amazing- doing great work in Marrakech for the abandoned & stray cats, dogs & other animals including stalks & peacocks, as well as the incredible work they’re doing for the working horses & donkeys. It’s a little off the beaten track but only cost 30 dirham in a taxi from the old town & we were given a tour by the really friendly & knowledgeable lady that works there. They provide a rehoming service, as well as a free hospital plus emergency care for the injured or neglected animals they come across. It’s great to know they are doing the best they can for the working horses & donkeys & she explained to us that all carriage horses have a band around their ankle which means the horse & owner are registered & the horse has to be bought in to be checked over & cleared for working. Any horse that is un-banded can be reported to them using the carriage number where you see the un-banded horse & actually after we left, we noticed some of these horses around the old square & reported the carriage numbers to them. They are trying to raise awareness of animal welfare in Marrakech & doing such great work, amazing to see. Please visit & donate!

Excellent. The location of the Garden is wonderful as just some few meters from the post office and MC do at the corner of Mohammed the fifth avenue . Lovely place , excellent for kids too as you have a kind of little place dedicated to the younger with some huge dinosaurs they can play with & other games for kids. The park has also an excellent maintenance and the garden is heartbreaking. To go and go again. Last..free entrance. Cheers,Olli.

On our Moroccan tour while in the Ourika Valley, this visit to Jardin Bio-aromantique d' Ourika was included in our itinerary. First, we had a tour of their organic gardens which were lovely. The garden focuses on natural herbs, and they prepare a wonderful lunch using fresh vegetables and herbs from their garden. While they are also cooking the food outdoors barbecuing healthy selections, we were treated to a professional herbal foot bath which was very nice and relaxing. Lunch was served in a beautiful setting outside under a gazebo. The food was delicious and everything was really nice. Everyone enjoyed a very special day, we felt pampered and would highly recommend this wonderful experience.

Menara Gardens and Pavilion

Reviewed By TomiV352 - Tel Aviv, Israel

If you try to go there and take the iconic photo symbolizes of Marrakesh you will be disappointed. Its almost impossible to take this photo of man made lake with Menara pavilion and Atlas mountains behind it, not talking about snow on it. Probably only in certain time of the year it's possible, but definitely not on summer. But anyway, we walked to the Menara gardens by foot from Menara mall, and it was to much in that midday heat. Better to take a taxi for a few dirhams, what we did on the way back of course. Gardens are close to the airport. Its a very beautiful place to visit and take special photos as the views are excellent. We didn't enter to the pavilion, as 70 DH seems to us too much, and after i research what it inside i didn't regret it. The pavilion and an artificial lake/basic with fish are surrounded by orchards and olive groves. Primary intention of the man made lake was to irrigate the surrounding gardens and orchards. Water to the basin is supplied from the mountains 30 km away from Marrakech. Menara gardens entrance is free of charge and it's a popular place for local people to make picnic.
