Azar — Marrakech

Azar is a long-running Lebanese, Moroccan and Mediterranean restaurant in the Guéliz district of Marrakech, on Rue de Yougoslavie just off Boulevard Hassan II. Open for more than twenty years, it pairs a Levantine-leaning kitchen — mezze, chargrilled meats, tagines and couscous — with a nightly oriental dinner show of belly dancers and live musicians playing oud, ney and derbouka.

The dining room is built around a central stage so every table has a clear sightline, with a panoramic mezzanine and an outdoor terrace for warmer evenings. The maximalist décor — velvet, mirrored columns, chandeliers and warm red lighting — leans into a theatrical, Art Deco-Guéliz mood. Dinner is served every evening from 7:30 PM, with the show building around 9 PM.
