The Arabian Nights Dinner Show in Orlando Florida

by Andrew W John

Since 1988, the Arabian Nights Dinner Show has been a huge attraction, inspiring awe in visitors to Orlando, Florida with each show. This, the ultimate in dinner shows, is staged in the largest indoor equestrian center in the world used for a permanent show.

This magical tale of the Princess Scheherazade and her search for her true love, Prince Khalid, features no less than 65 horses, outstanding horsemanship and stunning costumes - all integrated with the latest technology in sound, lighting and special effects. The Arabian Nights Dinner Show is an unforgettable experience.

The second that you walk into the 1,200 person capacity Palace of Horses, you will be struck speechless by the magical atmosphere as you are taken to your seats, all of which offer spectacular views of the action onstage. Those who love horses will be delighted by the beauty and strength of the Arabian Horses, the charm of the Andalusian horses, the heavy Belgian horses and Percherons. Also featured are Painted horses, reminding one of the Old West and the star of the show - The Black Stallion. Familiar to all of us from films, television and Walter Farley’s books, The Black Stallion has become the symbol of the Arabian Nights Dinner Show - and with good reason; he never fails to impress visitors.

If you are accustomed to the food at typical Dinner Shows, then you know it can be a little predictable and bland - and sometimes barely warm. Prepare yourself for a surprise then. The Arabian Nights Dinner Show will confound these preconceptions. For your main course, you can choose from New York Strip Steak, Grilled Chicken Breast, Black Angus Chopped Steak or a Primavera Penna Pasta Bowl (which can be prepared as suitable for vegans as well as vegetarians). In addition, there’s a fresh salad and a delicious dessert - as well as unlimited beer, wine or Pepsi products. And the food is good! If you have special dietary needs, then, as long as you give the venue prior notice, this won’t present them with any problems.

The Arabian Nights Dinner Show has been in the very capable hands of Mark Galen Miller and his family since the very beginning 20 years ago. The Arabian Nights Dinner Show regularly wins awards for Best Dinner Theater, Best Theme Restaurant, Best Performing Arts Group and Venue along with many others. The show is constantly evolving and new ideas are worked in all the time, keeping guests coming back again and again.

The whole family will be thrilled and entertained by the spectacle and magic of the Arabian Nights Dinner Show. This is a show which has it all, including spectacular choreography and peerless horsemanship. A chariot race during the show is sure to get your blood flowing; but the undoubted star of the whole show is The Black Stallion who even performs solo with nor halter or rider.

Certainly a highlight of any visit to Orlando, the Arabian Nights Dinner Show is a memorable experience. For an additional cost of around 10 dollars per person, you can take advantage of the VIP package. This will mean that not only do you receive a complimentary drink in the VIP lounge before dinner, you will also have seats in the first three rows, a free show poster and the opportunity to go backstage to meet the stars prior to the show.

For anyone who enjoys the thrills and spectacle of excellent live theater, the Arabian Nights Dinner Show is clearly the place to go.
