Enjoy a short walk through the Majorelle Gardens, home to the late Yves Saint Laurent. Today, his gardens house a collection of plants from the four corners of the earth, flourishing among elegant ornamental lakes and an Art Deco villa. Yves Saint Laurent and Pierre Bergé fell in love with the colors and culture of Marrakech, and they resided here for what they described as some of the most beautiful years of their lives.
Nearby is the Yves Saint Laurent Museum, where the most precious YSL works are gathered. This 43,000-square-foot building, inspired by contemporary and Moroccan architecture, was designed by a Paris-based firm. Blues and greens dominate one side of the entrance hall, reds and tangerines the other. The museum showcases more than 5,000 dresses and 15,000 haute couture accessories.
Another impressive building in Marrakech is the Dar El Bacha Museum -- among the most beautiful palaces of the ocher city. Built in the early 20th century, Dar El Bacha was the residence of Thami El Glaoui -- Pasha of Marrakech in 1912.
