Morning light
Five gardens, their hours and prices checked in October 2026, and the hour when each one looks its best.
A 12th-century Almohad basin, a green-roofed pavilion and olive groves, with the Atlas behind on clear days.
Two gardens a few minutes from the medina. One vast and almost secret, the other hidden behind a door on Rue Mouassine.
Royal orchards of olive and orange trees, watered since the 12th century. A World Heritage site with the medina.
A medina palace restored and opened in 2016: an Islamic garden, an exotic garden and a tower over the rooftops.
Further north, behind an ochre wall, there is a blue.
Rue Yves Saint Laurent, eight in the morning. The gate opens.
Majorelle blue.
Created by the painter Jacques Majorelle, saved in 1980 by Yves Saint Laurent and Pierre Bergé. Tickets are sold online, with a time slot.
Artist André Heller's garden, 27 km south on the Ourika road. Palms, bamboo, hidden sculptures, and the Atlas in front.
Anima is already on the road to the Ourika valley, which makes it the ideal first stop of a private Ourika valley day trip, with its waterfalls and Berber villages. Your driver picks you up at your riad and waits during your visit.
