Morocco

Morocco Pavilion in World Showcase at Epcot; opened on September 7, 1984. The first country to be added to World Showcase after its opening. Native craftsmen were brought over to create the intricate tile work, mosaics, and carved plaster throughout the pavilion. This is also the first and only pavilion to have a country as its sponsor, so besides the Restaurant el Marrakesh and the bazaars and shops offering Moroccan crafts, jewelry, clothing, basket and brasswork, there is an information center for the Moroccan National Tourist Office.
