As you enter, you’ll find yourself in a maze of streets weaving in and out of an authentic Moroccan marketplace. Following the pattern of many Moroccan cities, the pavilion is divided into two sections; the Ville Nouvelle (New City) which contains replicas of the Koutoubia minaret of Marrakesh and the Nejjarine Fountain, and the Medina (Old City), home to many of the pavilion’s exotic shops.

Magical Moments

Morocco is the most extensive pavilion in World Showcase; and arguably the most exotic. As you wander into the pavilion you’ll soon find yourself in a maze of authentically detailed marketplaces and alleyways. It’s a wonderful place to explore!

Hidden Mickeys & Other Secrets

Look for the green door next to the entrance of the “Gifts of Morocco” shop (near the lagoon). You’ll find three brass plates forming a Hidden Mickey.

Did You Know...?

The centerpiece of the Morocco pavilion is a replica of the Koutoubia Minaret prayer tower, originally built as part of a 12th century mosque in Marrakesh.
Because of the religious significance of the buildings, the Morocco pavilion remains dark during the evening fireworks show.
This is the most elaborately detailed land in all of World Showcase. The King of Morocco actually sent a group of 19 maalems (royal artisans) to create the extensive mosaic artwork!/li>

Touring Tips

Be sure to visit the Gallery of Arts and History to see examples of the science, music and technology of Morocco. As you pass through the heavy wooden door, look back to see the beautiful stained glass!
On the right side of the pavilion is the Fez House, a faithful recreation of a typical Moroccan home. You’ll find authentic mosaic tiles, artifacts, stained glass lights and even a tranquil fountain.
Look for the KIDCOT pavilion, where children can color in a special World Showcase mask and have their passports or autograph books signed and stamped (passports can be obtained at most World Showcase gift shops, our Guide to the Magic for Kids book also contains special World Showcase sections with lots of extras).
For an exotic dining experience, try the Restaurant Marrakesh, offering traditional Moroccan cuisine and live entertainment, (including a belly dancer!).
The Tangierine Cafe is a small cafe offering sandwiches, humus, vegetarian platters and desserts.
There are many great shops to find as you wind your way through the streets. You’ll find authentic clothing, pottery, and other items. You may even be able to see a weaving demonstration!
Aladdin and Princess Jasmine sometimes appear in front of the pavilion!
