Compensating somewhat for the lack of life music and theatre, Marrakech has a number of tourist spectacles. These range from the tacky to the kitsch. The best known – and longest running – is Chez Ali. Adults may find the Disneyfied take on Morocco’s heritage tiring. Kids, however, tend to lap up the sound and colour, so worth bearing in mind if you’re stuck for something to do. Chez Ali, beyond the city limits, they pick you up, T 044-307730, chezali@wanadoo.net.ma, see also http://www.ilove-marrakech.com/ chezali. Dancers, musicians and acrobats, even a princess and a sultan flying over the assembled tourists on a carpet. What more could one ask of the Orient? Al Menara son et lumière, Menara Gardens, near Av de France, T 044-439580, http://www.coleurs-marrakech.com/numero3. Tickets 400dh numbered seating, 250dh other. Accompanied children under 12 free. Created by a Franco-Moroccan team whose credentials include light shows for the city of Lyon and the opening ceremony of the Hassan II Mosque in Casablanca.
