Chez Ali
Fantasia Show 

Chez Ali invites guests to dine under the Berber tents as dancers, acrobats,

cavaliers, and folk music provide an enchanting atmosphere. Enliven your stay in Marrakech with this wonderful night out that combines an authentic dinner with traditional Moroccan folklore. 

​

The Fantasia dinner takes place at the spectacular Chez Ali restaurant and is a true Moroccan Nights’ experience. Under the massive tents and ‘Khozamas’ in the Marrakech palm grove, waiters and waitresses dressed in their own tribal costumes also double as entertainers. 

 

As the evening progresses, all through the dinner, various folklore troupes pass through the tents dancing, singing and generally animating the evening. This impressive evening comes to a fitting finale with the Fantasia show. Watch acrobats on Arabian horses firing rifles and demonstrating traditional forms of military combat. Then follows horseback acrobatics, a belly dance and suddenly up in the night sky a Sultan and his favourite fly to the stars on their magic carpet, as the evening comes to a close.
