Dusk drops over the palm grove and the desert breeze arrives like a cue—cool, scented with orange blossom and spices. Lanterns ignite around caidal tents, drums begin to pulse, and riders cut silhouettes against a low-lying sunset. For three to four hours Chez Ali stages a show that folds folklore into spectacle: Berber song, fantasia horse charges, acrobats and fireworks in an arena the size of a small stadium.
