Finish your visit with rotating exhibitions on Moroccan art and heritage, and relax at the on-site café with mint tea or pastries in the peaceful courtyard.

Things to know before booking your Jardin Secret tour

  • Booking a guided tour does not automatically include your entry ticket; you can choose to buy it online with your tour or purchase it later on-site.
  • Even if you buy your ticket later on-site, your guide will assist you to ensure a smooth, hassle-free process and guarantee your tickets before the tour begins.
  • Guided tours are available in Italian, Spanish, English, and French. Once you have your ticket, you can skip the queue and dive straight in. Without skip-the-line tickets, Jardin Secret visitors may face waits of 30–40 minutes during peak hours.
  • Access to the tower is not included in any of the tickets.
  • Choose your ticket based on time, convenience, and how much of Marrakech you want to see, from just Jardin Secret to a full guided tour including the Medina, Bahia Palace, and Ben Youssef Madrasa.
  • While the complex includes ramps and accessible restrooms, the cobblestone streets and uneven ground of the surrounding Medina may pose challenges for wheelchair users. Please note that the tower cannot be accessed by wheelchair.
