Nouba: the most polished evening
This option shows 4.5 from 1,973 reviews. Listings describe a show of singing, dancing and acrobats with a Moroccan menu, sometimes in two services. Travellers praise the atmosphere and the performers; complaints concern the price of drinks and a long evening with a late return. Men are asked to dress properly (no shorts or open shoes according to the listing).
Folk Marrakech: the mid-range choice
This offer offers a set menu with dancers, Gnawa music and a live band. Its price is around $39 to $40 and its rating around 4.2 to 4.4, but on few reviews (only a few dozen): the sample is small. One traveller reported long pauses between courses, another not seeing a show: confirm the programme before booking.
Dar Essalam: the best seller
This medina restaurant is the safest of the selection: 4.6 from 4,818 reviews, from €27.40. Music starts at 8 pm and dancers perform between 8.30 and 9 pm: belly dance, Gnawa, candle dance, Berber group. Guests are sometimes invited to join in. Drinks are not included.
What is not included, and the pitfalls
- Drinks: not included, often expensive. Check the menu before ordering.
