Majorelle Gardens in Morocco combine the beauty of nature and heritage

ArabiaWeather.com- The Majorelle Gardens are located in the Moroccan city of Marrakesh and are named after the name of the French painter Jacques Majorelle, which was built in 1924.

In 1937, the French painter painted the garden buildings in a bright blue color, which surprised the residents of the red city, as the name Majorelle blue was given to this level of blue in the French language in relation to this garden, and the French painter died in a traffic accident in 1967.

In the year 1980, the international fashion designer Yves Saint Laurent and the French writer Pierre Bergé bought the garden, so they opened part of it to the public, and the Marguerite Gardens are currently considered one of the most important tourist attractions in Marrakesh, where the building surrounded by the garden was converted into a museum of Islamic arts.

The garden contains rare plants and flowers from the five continents, especially cacti. It receives about 600,000 visitors annually, along shaded paths and in the midst of dreamy trees and plants. The visitor hears the sound of water in streams and ponds full of water lilies, lotus flowers, rustling leaves, and the chirping of birds that find refuge in the garden.
