The Dinner Experience
The meal is one of the tour’s strong points. You’ll dine on traditional Moroccan fare such as Harira Soup (a hearty tomato-based soup with lentils and herbs), dates, and a variety of tagines with meat and vegetables. The meal also includes couscous with meat, and a selection of Moroccan pastries served alongside fresh mint tea. The dishes are generally considered decent, with some reviews calling the food “correct” but not extraordinary. For many, the value lies in the experience rather than gourmet excellence.
Entertainment Inside the Tent
While enjoying your meal, you’ll be entertained by performers like Gnaoua acrobats, snake charmers, fire eaters, belly dancers, and Berber dancers. The performances are lively, but some reviewers found them somewhat lacking in originality or energy, describing the animations as “light” or “not very enthusiastic.” One guest pointed out that the spacious setting makes it difficult to fully appreciate the performances, as everything happens far from the audience.
The Fantasia Show
The climax of the night is the Fantasia Show, where Arab horsemen shoot rifles into the sky, ride at full gallop, and perform daring tricks amid the flickering flames and explosions. This spectacle is visually striking and offers a true taste of Moroccan horsemanship and military tradition. Several guests described it as “really good,” with one reviewer mentioning that the display is “full of culture, drums, and dancing,” adding a memorable touch to the evening.
