A 4-hour guided tour of Marrakech's palaces and gardens: Bahia Palace, the Saadian Tombs, El Badi ruins and Jardin Majorelle, with a licensed guide and air-conditioned transfers.
This 4-hour guided tour combines the Kasbah quarter's monuments, Bahia Palace, the Saadian Tombs and El Badi Palace, with Jardin Majorelle in the new town. A licensed guide from our team leads the visit, and an air-conditioned vehicle takes you between the medina and Majorelle.
Marrakech's monuments tell the story of the dynasties that ruled from here. The Saadian sultans built El Badi Palace in the late 16th century and decorated it with Italian marble; today it is a huge open ruin with storks nesting on the walls. Their family tombs, sealed for centuries and rediscovered in 1917, hold some of the finest carved cedar and stucco in Morocco. Bahia Palace, built in the late 19th century for a grand vizier, shows how an elite household lived around courtyards, painted ceilings and orange trees. Then we cross to Jardin Majorelle, the cobalt-blue garden designed by painter Jacques Majorelle and later restored by Yves Saint Laurent and Pierre Bergé.
Without a guide these sites can blur into beautiful but silent rooms. Our guides explain who lived here, what the inscriptions say, and why the architecture looks the way it does.
Entry fees are paid separately. If the total feels too much, we can drop one site and add a walk through the Mellah or the spice square instead.
Majorelle is busiest from 11:00 to 15:00. We usually start the Kasbah quarter at 9:00 and reach the garden early afternoon, or reverse the order to catch the garden at opening (8:00) in summer. Bahia and El Badi are open daily, roughly 9:00–17:00.
