You step through a low gate and the arena opens wide — an expanse of sand the size of a football field under a sky cooling from ochre to indigo. Lanterns bloom around long tables, drums start to pulse, and riders in embroidered coats line the track; the night smells faintly of grilled spices and horsehair. The show grabs you immediately: parades, acrobats, mounted fantasia charges and musicians layering rhythms that push the crowd forward.
