To be fair, the entertainment industry here may still be in its infancy. But 500 Dirham for this dinner and show is overpriced. The food was ordinary, the entertainers representing different tribes that took turn singing at the tables were unenthusiastic. They were just noise at best. The show in the arena sufferred from poor choreography, poor music, poor lighting... More

A fantastic setting but entertainment didn't quite match. On arrival the horeguard parade looked spectacular and we were invited to take photos only to be hassled for money afterwards. Several groups of folk dancers but all were similar. The arena was too dark to see everything clearly and the horses were very fast. The guns iring was deafening and made... More

Do not go to see this excuse for entertainment. Waste of money. Dancers didn't know what they were doing. Horses clearly did not want to participate and the camels were just left. Best part was the end More

Food was over cooked, especially the lamb. Large amount of food was disturbing considering the people in the Medina begging for money. Loud music was annoying, as some banged their drums near our ears, no information about the cultural significance of songs and music. Wine was okay, but you pay extra, even water. Entertainment was disjointed, no announcer, poor lighting... More

The arrangement included a dinner and then the "big" show on the parade ground. The food and setting in the restaurants was OK . tasteful and quite all right. The service was noexisting while the logistic functioned. The show was very uninteresting with long pauses, bad light setting and a total blast out of high sounds. Can't say this was... More

Well, my wife and our new born was in Marrakech and wanted to do something relaxing in the evening thats also suitable for children. So we decided to go to this amazing grande place called Chez Ali which we saw advertised in many tour guides. It looked good on paper, seemed pricey but there was nothing else much to do... More

If its traditional food you want don't come here. Bland soup, over sweet tagine and a platter of fruit was very boring. I was there a year ago (work!) and we got a full roast lamb to eat...not this year!! The entertainment is even worse. The first couple of groups of singers were OK, but by the time the 10th... More
