Each year during the Marrakech Popular Arts Festival in July the people from all over Morocco come and put on a wonderful horse riding show. It is such a wonderful event that showcases the amazing talents of the men and women who can do lots of tricks on horse back. The festival is only in July but if you are visiting other times you can still get a chance to see these riders put on a great show.

Not far from the marrakech hotels you will find a restaurant called Chez Ali that has the fantasia festivities happening while dining. Enjoy some great moroccan dishes in a caidal tent while you are clapping along with the Berber drummers and the singers.

The riders are doing a sort of rodeo but Moroccan style. There going to charge by shooting blanks out of their guns. Then there going to have riders that are swinging on and off their horses with their saddle tricks. All of them wearing traditional costumes and while the traditional music plays. The show also includes acrobats, a parade, belly dancers and fireworks.

The show may be a little touristy but it is still something fun that will give you the flavor of some of the history of this cultural city.
