“Savory cuisine and sprightly belly dancing transport you to the heart of Morocco.”

On September 7, 1984, the Morocco Pavilion was added to Epcot’s World Showcase; it was the first country to be added since the showcase’s opening. It is also currently the only area to be sponsored by its home country, and includes an information center for the Moroccan National Tourist Office. Characters Aladdin and Jasmine are available to meet at certain times in the pavilion. The pavilion is home to Restaurant Marrakesh, which gives guests a taste of famous Moroccan delicacies such as roast lamb, couscous, and bastilla. Guests to the pavilion can also shop for clothing, jewelry, and rugs, as well as learn how to belly dance and how to make couscous.
