[edit] Layout

The Moroccan Pavilion is designed to look like a Moroccan city, with a realistic Minaret. It features the Restaurant Marrakech which serves Moroccan fare, such as roast lamb in Tagines, Couscous and Harira soups. It includes the Gallery of Arts and History and the Fes House, an example of a typical Moroccan house. It has many shops with a Moroccan feel, selling such goods as rugs, leather goods, and clothing. The area is decorated with gardens and fountains to give a North African feel. Later in the evening, there is a musical show including a Belly Dancer.

The Twilight Zone Tower of Terror at the nearby Disney-MGM Studios is clearly seen behind the Moroccan pavilion, yet it was designed in a way to look as if it is part of the pavilion and does not spoil the illusion.
