Fata Morgana
As soon as you enter Efteling, you'll spot the domed roofs of Fata Morgana! This magical forbidden city has been here since 1986. First, let yourself be enchanted by the marketplace with its oriental atmosphere.
Then enter the imposing minaret before stepping into the station. Here you take a seat in one of the boats and sail through various places in the forbidden city, from the lush jungle and the poor quarters to the prison and the Sultan's magnificent palace. Along the way, you'll also regularly come across the sorcerer.
Discover Fata Morgana
On Fata Morgana, an exciting boat ride transports you to the Orient, where you'll discover exotic markets, enchanting palaces and mysterious scenes. Discover this enchanting experience full of adventure and wonder in the video!
Getting there
Your journey begins in a lush jungle, where a sorcerer opens the gate to the Forbidden City. Along the way you explore a market and unexpectedly end up in prison. Luckily, the sorcerer is there to free you, so you can sail on to the harbour.
When you then enter the palace, pay close attention, because this is where the on-ride photo is taken! In the palace you discover a treasure guarded by the Djinn. Don't worry, though, as the sorcerer guides you safely through. On the way back to the jungle you suddenly find yourself in a threatening storm, but fortunately you return safely to where your adventure began.
Food, drink and souvenirs
After the boat ride, you end up in the souvenir shop De Bazaar. Here you'll find an abundance of souvenirs that suit the Arabian Nights atmosphere, such as incense, cushions, jewellery, figurines and candlesticks.
Worked up an appetite after all that oriental wonder? Opposite Fata Morgana you'll find the Oase. Here you can enjoy Turkish pizza, döner and refreshing ice creams.
