The Arabian Nights Dinner Show has been thrilling visitors to Orlando for two decades now. The Arabian Nights Dinner Show is the creme de la creme of dinner shows, staged in the largest equestrian center in the word which is used for an indoor show.

The tale of Princess Scheherazade in her search for her true love, Prince Khalid, is told in a truly magical production featuring more than 65 horses, breathtaking costumes and thrilling, expert horsemanship. All of this is done with the very latest in lighting, sound and special effects technology. All who have seen it agree that the Arabian Nights Dinner Show is an experience which they will never forget.

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.

The food at a lot of dinner shows is somewhat lacking. Happily, this is not the case with the Arabian Nights Dinner Show. You can have your choice of Black Angus Chopped Steak, Grilled Chicken Breast, New York Strip Steak or a Primavera Pasta Bowl (which can also be prepared for vegans as well as vegetarians). A fresh, mouthwatering salad is also served as is a wonderful dessert. Bottomless beer, wine or Pepsi products are provided as well. If you have any special dietary requirements, simply notify the venue ahead of time and they can take care of you with no problem.

The Arabian Nights Dinner Show has been in the hands of Mark Galen Miller and his family from the very beginning 20 years ago and has developed into the most honored show of its kind in the world – regularly winning awards such as Best Theme Restaurant, Best Dinner Theater, Best Performing Arts Group and Venue – and many more. Because the show is constantly re-inventing itself and evolving because of the skilful introduction of new ideas, many people return time after time.

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.

The Arabian Nights Dinner Show is the high point of any visit to Orlando and is one of the most memorable experiences imaginable. For an extra ten dollars per guest, you can upgrade to the VIP package including a complimentary drink before dinner in the VIP lounge and seats in the first three rows. Also included are a free poster for the show and the chance to get backstage and meet the stars yourself before the show begins.

Anyone who enjoys a thrill and the spectacle of live theater, the Arabian Nights Dinner Show is without question the go-to destination.
