The first pavilion to be added to World Showcase after Epcot opened, Morocco is one of the most unique pavilions in Epcot. While the other pavilions are sponsored by corporations, the Morocco pavilion is sponsored by the government of Morocco. King Hassan II sent his own maalems (craftsmen) to work with Disney to ensure the pavilion was built in a way that King Hassan wanted.  The area draws its influence from such areas including Marrakesh, Fez, and Rabat, and features traditional Islamic architecture. In an effort to be as accurate as possible, the area is divided into two sections; the vile nouvelle (new city) and the Medina (old city). Minarets (prayer towers) and are replicas from the capital city can also be seen in the pavilion. While there are no rides or films to be seen here, there is much to do in exploring the buildings and the Gallery of Arts and History.
