Folklore dinner show in the Red City

Whether it's a night out with friends, a girls' weekend away or a romantic dinner, Marrakech is a city that continues to vibrate as night falls. With its traditional restaurants, bars, nightclubs and casinos, the nightlife has not said its last word and immerses us in a festive atmosphere worthy of the evenings in Ibiza. Among all these outings, there are establishments that put on shows over a delicious dinner. A different way to discover Marrakech.

Pretty tables and subdued lighting are the first things you see when you arrive at a Moroccan restaurant. You start by ordering food and having a drink, then the dishes arrive and the music blares throughout the establishment. It's the start of a memorable evening. The programme included dancers strolling between the tables, fire-eaters and even... a horse show! They've all come with one objective in mind: to give us the most wonderful evening in Marrakech.
