Highlights
  • Restaurant Chez Ali - At the palm-grove of Marrakech, enjoy a magical, majestic, authentic and unforgettable performance!
    Chez Ali is the original, and probably still the best. Fantasia is a war ceremony consisting of opposing groups of horsemen : the best riders of their tribe. As each group quivers in glaring light, all its members point their rifles to the sky and shoot at the same time leaving behind them a tumult of burst
    Comfortably seated under one of the various “Caîdales” tents you will taste the dishes that made Moroccan cuisine world famous. During this delicious meal enjoy folkloric troops, musicians, and acrobats from all over Morocco. they will entertain, astonish,captivate and surprise you.
    After the meal, go to the arena, where the show really gets started! Enjoy dances, songs and the caravan. Admire the incredible cleverness and nimbleness of the horse riders on their pure Arabe steeds.
    One of the greatest surprises : The sultan and his favorite wife on a flying carpet above the spectators!

Great moment - Absolutely magical and magical place Pleasant welcome with the waiter or the staff and the dancers the meal is simple but very good we did not consume any drinks apart from a bottle of water which is also the price of drinks is displayed The show is worthy of the place, we had a good time, but be careful of young children who could be afraid of shots during the show I highly recommend this excursion Which is not at all bling bling or of poor quality contrary to reviews and other excursions where the dancers are amateurs

Great Experience but.... - Paid extra for a pick up from our hotel as we were quite a way out of Marrakech. The journey to the venue was a little awkward as the driver picked up a family of 4 when there was only room for 3. A child had to sit on the floor. The whole place seems a little chaotic and we shared a table with those that were on our bus. We were all asked if we wanted chicken or beef. 2 requested chicken and 6 beef - we were served a tagine of each! Loads of chicken for 2 but not so the beef. The food wasn't great. No drinks were provided with the meal and the ones we bought were expensive - even the water The show on the other hand was great and it made the evening worthwhile. Big tip would be to eat before you go and take a bottle of water!

Entertaining - We enjoyed our time here, it was worth the visit. We only wished our driver spoke english so he could engage us on some questions we had as we journeyed to the venue, we had a lot of questions. That would have completed the whole lovely experience. We loved the entertainment and the food was good.

A good night out and a must do on your visit - We were picked up from our hotel and our host/driver was gave us a tour of the place before the meal. This was a very nice experience of Moroccan culture. There were different types of tribe music which visited the us as we ate, it was really enjoyable. The horse show followed the meal. I would recommend this trip and would do it again.

Overall fun - It was awesome to watch the horsemen charge and fire their muskets. It gives you some sense of what battles felt like in the day. For me, that is what made the show worthwhile. The dinner itself was good. My girlfriend found out that when you order wine it is by the bottle. It is not possible to get by the glass. Bring your tip money if you choose to dance.

Awful and Not worth the time or the money - Booked this place for the family and sure enough I should’ve read the reviews before booking. What an absolute nightmare. From the moment we arrived the staff did everything in their power to fleece us of money. They demand it. The food was absolutely awful. We were fed like children at a third world boarding school. The staff are so rude. The animals are badly treated it was sad to watch. They use those animals to get maximum profit in whichever way. As for the entertainment, what can I say it was a slippery slope from the beginning and it only went south thereafter. If you can please avoid at all costs.

Dreadful waste of money - Pickup driver was rude and unhelpful. I did not get one drink or souvenir photo. This trip is a waste of money
