To escape the heat as they traveled the North African desert, Moroccans would put up high-ceilinged tents, illuminate them with spectacular pierced bronzed lanterns and cover the floor and walls with rich carpets. Marrakech has re-created the exotic décor of the desert wanderers, providing a romantic ambience complete with comfortable booths for dining on traditional Moroccan food. Marrakech’s prix-fixe dinner, served with crusty homemade Moroccan bread, begins with shrimp scampi, harira (lentil) soup and a salad of hummus and assorted vegetables. Next are shish kebabs, served flaming on spears impaled on a pineapple, and Cornish game hen with a royal couscous platter. Pastilla, a light and flaky Moroccan pastry accompanied by Moroccan mint tea, completes the feast. During the evening, belly dancers perform---and encourage guests to get up and join them.
