Traveler reviews
AVOID AT ALL COSTS! A real tourist trap!
Very disappointed with this site. A real factory! No human warmth. A very beautiful setting despite fake tents (prefabricated structures covered with drapes). They bring the dishes to our tables like we are dogs. The quantity is there but not the quality at all. A Moroccan soup (pretty good but in a ramekin), a lamb tagine with prunes (only pieces of fat and very tough), a chicken couscous (a miserable piece of chicken breast with semolina and cold vegetables, all bland), jewhara (pretty good), a mint tea without taste and cold accompanied by a Moroccan shortbread cookie and we never saw the fruit. We had just finished the meal when the show was already starting. Sitting on concrete bleachers where you can only see if you are in the first row, second, or at the very top. Otherwise, the other rows are at the same level as the second, so you see absolutely nothing. And a 25-minute show with many gaps where you have a few gunshots, some acrobatics, a belly dance, and the famous flying carpet that you only see from afar and which lasts 1 minute. A "grand" fireworks display where you only have 2 rockets. And for the photo, if you don't buy it, they mumble something at you in Arabic (surely not very complimentary) and they tear it up in front of you. No friendliness, a tourist factory!
Fantastic driver, dinner, & show!
Wonderful experience from our driver, to the show, to the food. I highly recommend this to anyone and I would do it again if I ever came back. Our driver Imad was fantastic and personable.
Scam.
Tourist trap, to be avoided urgently, overpriced for a service that is more than low-end. Mediocre meal; moreover, they do not bring you what is expected and try to scam you by asking you to pay for the tea that is included in the meal! Servers who rush you and are unpleasant. Uninteresting show. It is clear that we are just walking wallets. No ethics.
Great event - spoilt by Viator
The place and show was enjoyable, the meal wasn't great but definitely worth going as vibrant and fun. Unfortunately, our experience was spoilt by the communication with the transport that comes with the package. We received a message via WhatsApp from the local guide to tell us he would pick us up at 8pm. The time on the ticket stated the show started at 7pm, so we queried this with both the tranport and the app itself. No explanation was given apart from he would pick us up at 8pm. He also changed the pick up point. We were worried we would miss the first hour and also, had already areanged getting to the orriginal pick up point, so we decided to book our own transport to the event. We arrived to an empty carpark to be told it would not open until after 8pm due to Ramadan. We were two women, stranded in the middle of nowhere, not a soul around, for over an hour feeling very vulnerable ( my friend is also registered disabled). When the event finally opened, we were told we couldn't enter, as we were not with our transport guide and he had our tickets! Be aware, the e-tickets you get from the app, don't give you entry! I couldn't see on the app where it states this. We explained to the woman on entry our predicament and she called our guide and had a heated conversation with him. She was very accommodating and let us in. However, the guide would not pick us up to take us back, so we had to rely on our hotel to send a taxi to take us back (round trip cost us around £50) they also could only collect us 20mins before the end, so we missed the last 15mins of the show. This could have all been avoided with clear communication from the guide and the app of why the time had been changed! Personally Viator should refund our money as they ruined what should have been a brilliant experience. Instead, it ended up being stressful, which took a lot of the enjoyment out of the evening. The event i would give 4 stars (although we didnt get to experience it all!) but the experience from viator, I would give 1 star.
Traditional music, food and fun!
A must do for traditional music, dancing and food! They set the scene from the moment you arrive with horses, music and dancers! It only continues from there and gets better. The food was delicious, the energy and atmosphere was fantastic. Kids were entertained and participated in the whole experience. Servings of food were plentiful and the service was friendly. Would recommend for all.
