Timeline
17:45
Grab a coffee or light snack at My Kawa. It is just a two-minute walk from the gardens and opens at 08:00, so it will be ready for you well before sunset.
18:00
Enter Majorelle Gardens. The park opens at 08:00 (09:00 during Ramadan), giving you plenty of time to wander the cactus collection and the Yves Saint-Laurent museum before the evening rush.
19:00
Find a quiet corner inside the gardens to watch the sun set toward the W. The golden light starts around 18:27, casting a warm glow over the iconic blue villa and the surrounding greenery.
Local tip
The gardens can get crowded by tourists later in the day. Arriving early and staying for the sunset allows you to enjoy the space as it transitions from bright afternoon to peaceful evening.
