Alf Leila Wa Leila
Alf Leila Wa Leila (meaning one thousand Nights and a Night) is a great place to spend the evening as it is perfect for all the family and wide variety of activities from the open air dance floor that hosts many shows to the spectacular sound and light show at night. It usually starts at 7 p.m. to 3 a.m. The place resembles a castle form a time long ago. Thera is also an open-air cinema there, making it all the more interesting...

But don't forget to try bargaining with the vendors, as you will probably be able to convince them of a better price!
