Agdal Gardens
Marrakesh, Morocco
The Agdal Gardens are the oldest gardens in Marrakech — a 400-hectare walled orchard south of the royal palace that has been irrigated by a 12th-century khettara (underground water channel) system since the Almohad dynasty created it as a pleasure garden and agricultural reserve nearly 900 years ago.

Jardin Majorelle & Yves Saint Laurent Museum
Rue Yves Saint Laurent, Guéliz, Marrakech
Jardin Majorelle is the most famous garden in Morocco — a 1-hectare Art Deco botanical garden created by French painter Jacques Majorelle over 40 years beginning in 1923, rescued from development by Yves Saint Laurent and Pierre Bergé in 1980, and now the most visited attraction in Marrakech after Jemaa el-Fna.
Le Jardin Secret
Derb Habib Allah, Marrakesh, 40030, Morocco
Le Jardin Secret is a restored riad garden in the heart of the medina — a 16th-century courtyard complex that was abandoned for decades before a meticulous restoration completed in 2016 returned its Islamic garden to working order, including the original khettara (underground water channel) system that has been feeding the garden since the Saadian era.
Palmeraie
Circuit de la Palmeraie, Marrakech
The Palmeraie is a 13,000-hectare palm grove on the northern edge of Marrakech — a landscape of over 100,000 date palms planted during the Almoravid dynasty in the 11th century that has been both an agricultural resource (the dates, olives, and gardens irrigated by the khettara system) and a recreational retreat for nine centuries.
