Yves Saint Laurent Museum & Majorelle Garden & Villa Oasis

The Jardin Majorelle cannot be missed, any time I am in the city it is a destination. I especially like to sunbath at the terrace of the main building. (That is also the Berber Museum where you can see beautiful artefacts and jewelry of the Berbers.) I have decided to write my postcards here. 

As the queue is always long here and we also wanted to go to the YSL Museum (4 women is Marrakech J ) we started our visit there. Shorter queue and you can buy combined tickets there so once your museum visit is over you just enter the garden without waiting.  It is a small exhibition but intense and I found it very emotional too.  

The biggest surprise was as for a few days per week the doors of Villa Oasis (where Yves Saint Laurent and her parter Pierre Bergé lived) is opened too.  Basically we could have a walk in their garden and could see their beautiful home too. I asked someone who works there and was informed that since last Christmas the Foundation decided to open for 3 days per week (Friday to Sunday). So if you are a real fan make sure you plan your visit on these days.

Marrakech, the red city

Marrakech is called the red city however for me it is the pink city– this is how I call it. Most of the buildings are coloured salmon pink – that is what people call red here. 

During sunset the colour warms and deepens, too. I also find the sunrise magnificent in the city and tried not to miss any of them from the top of our hotel. 

Before the very moment of the rising of the sun the birds are singing so loud then it all stops as the sun comes up. Then after a minute of silence the city becomes chaotic, noisy, warm and dusty.
