Chez Ali has been Marrakech's big night out since 1980 — a reconstructed Berber village of grand caïdal tents in the Palmeraie, lit by lanterns and hung with carpets. You're seated in a tent and served a multi-course Moroccan dinner while musicians, dancers and acrobats move between the tables. It leans theatrical and touristic, and that's exactly the point: it's a spectacle.
The finale is the Fantasia itself — costumed horsemen charging across the arena firing muskets in unison, followed by folklore troupes, a flying carpet, and fireworks over the palm grove. It's a huge hit with families and first-time visitors. Come for the atmosphere and the show rather than fine dining; the food is generous and traditional rather than gourmet.
Your shuttle or private driver collects you and heads out to the Palmeraie on the edge of the city.
Step into the lantern-lit complex of caïdal tents — the Arabian-Nights setting is part of the experience.
A multi-course dinner — harira, tagine or couscous, grilled meats and Moroccan pastries — served as performers pass through.
Horsemen, acrobats, dancers, a flying carpet and a fireworks finale in the open-air arena.
