Choosing a menu
You pick the standard or the extended menu when you book on GetYourGuide. The standard menu is a starter, a main course and a dessert; the extended one adds a second main course.
Getting yourselves there
Hotel pickup and drop-off aren't included, so decide before the day how your party will reach the medina and get back. A hotel or riad host can usually advise on the way in after dark.
Taking your seat
The restaurant has several dining rooms, each with its own architecture and history. Leave a few minutes to look around before the food starts to arrive.
When the music starts
The musical show begins at 8:00 PM each evening. Guests describe a lively, loud room from then on, so a table that wants quiet conversation may find it hard going.
When the dancers perform
The dancers take the floor between 8:30 and 9:00 PM, and belly dancing is part of the programme. One guest describes a party at the end of the night that took in the whole room.
Closing out the night
The evening is listed at about three hours in all. Because drop-off isn't part of the booking, line up your ride home before you sit down.
