Walk into Marrakesh's history

Step inside the beautifully restored riads and courtyard, where intricate stucco, carved cedar wood, and colorful tiles set the scene for a peaceful escape in the heart of the Medina.

Enjoy the exotic botanical garden

Wander among palms, fruit trees, ferns, and flowering shrubs. Pause on shaded benches and soak in the tropical charm surrounded by traditional Moroccan architecture.

See the Islamic Charbagh Garden

Discover the classic four-part garden with fountains and citrus trees, and learn about the spiritual and geometric symbolism that shaped its design.

Explore the historic Khettara water system

Check out the underground channels that brought water from the Atlas Mountains to Marrakech, and learn how this ancient engineering kept the gardens thriving for centuries.

Climb the tower for panoramic views

Our tickets do not include tower access, but if you choose to buy tower tickets separately, you can head up the 24-meter watchtower for sweeping views of the Medina, the Koutoubia minaret, and the Atlas Mountains—a perfect photo spot and perspective on the gardens below.

End the day with culture and refreshments

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.
