De Vliegende Fakir

The Flying Fakir is the 28th fairy tale on the route of the Fairytale Forest of the Efteling. The scene consists of two Persian palace towers with a wall between them. Between the towers, a fakir flies on a flying carpet back and forth. From the towers he shows red and yellow tulips in the garden for the palace with the music Sanai Gath that he plays on his whistle.

It opened in 1958, to an idea of Peter Reijnders and Anton Pieck's design. Over the years, various stories were written for the scene. Since the seventies this is the fairy tale "The Gardener and the Fakir" written by Martine Bijl.
