Was initially very skeptical of the Jardin Majorelle and has assumed that it would be a tourist trap (the 70 DHS entree fee only furthered this skepticism). Immediately upon entering the space, however, my concerns melted away. It's quite shocking, in fact, how oasis-like the space is; a bastion of quiet, natural wonder in the middle of the new-Marrakesh. Even despite the throngs of people frozen in a hundred different ideal picture-taking positions, I found the garden to be enchanting as well as inviting. The Majorelle blue juxtaposing the vivid green of saguaro cacti fills you with a quiet magic that makes the 30 minute wait in line seem totally worth it. The gift shop is equally incredible if you have hundreds of Euros to spend.
Marrakech, ancienne cité impériale de l'ouest du Maroc, et un centre économique majeur abritant des mosquées, des palais et des jardins. La médina est une cité médiévale fortifiée et densément peuplée datant de l'Empire berbère, avec des allées entremêlées tel un labyrinthe, où les souks (marchés) animés vendent des étoffes, des poteries et des bijoux traditionnels. Symbole de la ville, le minaret de la mosquée maure de Koutoubia du XIIe siècle est visible à des kilomètres.
