Le Jardin Secret in Marrakesh, Morocco, is a historical marvel that dates back over 400 years, with roots in the Saadian Dynasty. Originally designed as a royal garden and later transformed in the 19th century by a prominent kaid, it has been meticulously restored to highlight the finest examples of Arab-Andalusian and Moroccan architectural traditions. The garden, once a private retreat, is now open to the public, offering a blend of serene greenery and intricate architectural details. It serves as a living testament to Morocco's rich cultural heritage and Islamic artistry, providing visitors with a deeper understanding of the country's history.

A nice place to visit and get out of the hustle and bustle of the streets. 100dh entry each. Perhaps on the high side as its only small and the tower costs extra. We wandered around taking pics for about 45 mins just taking our time. It was nice to relax and take photos.

If you look for places to visit, than this one pops up. However, after being here I'd definitely could say it's a tourist trap. Entrance fee is 10 euros. However the garden is tiny and the variation of plants is limited to a few bigger species. A normal garden would even be able to provide you with more biodiversity. The architecture is nice, but definitely not different from other parts of the city. So nice on pics, good place to take pics, but not worth the 10 euro fee. Maybe 1/2 euros at best. See pics below.

The garden is absolutely gorgeous but in my opinion the fee was quite steep for what you get especially if you just want to go in and grab a coffee and have a sit. It was relatively quiet when I was there and the water features and plants were lovely.

What a beautiful dual garden, although a bit pricey at 100 MAD, I think it's worth it. I spent all morning here, plenty of shaded places to see and listen to the bird song. A distinctive smell permeates the air from a flower I couldn't identify but is spread throughout the garden. The irrigation system is fascinating; water coming from the Atlas mountains under a gravity system via underground channels dug a thousand years ago. For an extra 40 MAD you can have a guide take you up the tower for the best views in Marrakesh. The tower doesn't look that high but only the minarets of the mosques are higher. I recommend coming early, ideally at opening time. This place is popular and gets very busy by late morning with queues for the ticket office

What a beautiful place! This place has a curated garden with plants from all over the planet. There’s plenty places to sit and there’s even a cafe. Because of how popular it is, we almost didn’t go because the line up at opening time was quite long. I would avoid peak times and target end of day to cool down and have a tea in the shade. The garden is not huge but it’s two squares and a basin as well as a tower with a view. You could take time to sit down and soak in the beauty of the landscape against the Moroccan architecture.
