Morocco Fantasia

Moroccan folklore can be experienced by catching a Moroccan fantasia live show while you vacationing in Morocco.

Where in Morocco can I see a live fantasia show?

Marrakesh, Agadir (Shems Ayour), Rabat, Ben Mellal and Meknes.

Morocco Fantasia Festival is celebrated each year during the month of September, also known as “Tissa horse moussem”, mossem means festival in Arabic. The performers are usually of a Berber decent, and usually are well trained horsemen. Horsewomen start participating in some local mousems, where they perform along side of their country men. The event usually attracts local Berber traditional music and dance groups. Meknes is known nationally for its stables, Tissa horse moussem, Meknes traditional dance, and a long history association with fantasia that started around the 17^th century.
