Spend an evening at Chez Ali’s Fantazia: a 3–4 hour dinner-and-performance that stages cavalry charges, acrobatics and folk dances across a football-sized arena. Book ahead, confirm pickup and bring a light layer for cooler desert nights.

Night falls over the open arena at Chez Ali, the floodlights carving the sand into sharp ribbons while horses paw and drums roll—music that seems to pull the crowd forward. The Fantazia show stages long files of riders, acrobats and dancers across a field the size of a football pitch; you eat, watch and are pulled into a performance that mixes staged spectacle with living folk tradition.
