Jardin Majorelle
If a painter designs a garden, something wonderful is created. Jacques Majorelle transformed this garden in 1937 into a piece of art. Cobalt blue walls combined with water and the green of the plants, just a wunderful garden.
Stork
Storks can be seen everywhere circeling in the sky over Marrakech. At the "Palais El Badi" storks have built their nests on the walls. You can come very close to watch the majestic birds.

The courtyards are the living room of the Moroccans, they are always well designed, with either fountains or a small garden.

Gardens in Marrakesh
Marrakech is located in a fertile plain, surrounded by desert. The city benefits from the Atlas Mountains, several creeks run through the plain of Marrakesh. Nevertheless, water is a rare commodity, which must be carefully used. Tourist Resorts and golf courses swallow a lot of water. Tourism has increased the lack of water in town. Parks and gardens are therefore hard to find, but in the traditional courtyard houses called "Riad" there is always a leafy courtyard with fountains.
