Orlando Car Rental Travel Guide - Morocco Pavilion
When Orlando car rental customers see the exquisite detail of the tiled patterns and mosaic art that make up the Morocco pavilion, it is easy for them to believe that more native craftsmen were used to create this structure than were employed to construct any other country’s pavilion at The World Showcase. In fact, the King of Morocco sent his own royal craftsmen to complete much of the work at the Morocco pavilion, which represents the North African country and depicts the cities of Fez, Casablanca and Marrakesh.
If you want to really learn about the culture, history and people of Morocco, The Treasures of Morocco is a Must Do! This 45-minute walking tour of the Morocco pavilion is FREE (a word seldom heard in the Orlando vacation area) and well worth the time spent. Often bypassed, the ever-changing Gallery of Arts and History at the Morocco pavilion offers an interesting sampling of Moroccan art, science, costumes and music. If you would like to experience the typical Moroccan home, visit the Fez House. It is replete with items and art found in many of the country’s dwellings.
One of the things that Orlando car rental customers love best about The World Showcase, is the opportunity to try foods from other countries. The Morocco pavilion doesn’t disappoint on this count, with two places to sample native foods from the region. At the Restaurant Marrakesh, you can dine on Bastilla appetizers, shish kabobs, chicken brochettes, lamb and traditional couscous while being entertained by traditional live Moroccan music - complete with a belly dancer! If you are seeking a quick bite, stop by the Tangierine Cafe - a small open air cafe at the Morocco pavilion that offers light crepes, vegetarian dishes and Moorish pastries as well as hot mint tea and specialty coffees.
Unique shopping opportunities abound at the Morocco pavilion. At Tangier Traders, you will discover fine leather purses along with sandals, fez hats, belts and an assortment of clothing to take home with you in your Orlando car rental. 
Shiny brass pots and planters as well as handmade bowls are the main attractions at The Brass Bazaar. If your bare floor needs a little life, the Morocco pavilion’s Casablanca Carpets specializes in (you guessed it!) hand knotted rugs and carpets. You can purchase unique Moroccan woodcrafts, musical instruments and clothing at Medina Arts. More leather goods, brass bowls, baskets and Moroccan jewelry can be found at Berber Oasis and the Marketplace in the Medina rounds out your shopping experience with wicker baskets and lamps, furniture, straw bags and sheepskin wallets.
MoRockin’ provides a fun entertainment experience, playing contemporary rock and Arabic music on authentic Moroccan instruments and belly dancers always draw a crowd at the Morocco pavilion. Pictures of these entertainers always make an excellent addition to any Orlando vacation photo album, so be sure to check your park map for show times! You can even personalize your trip to the Morocco pavilion by having one of the Henna artists paint an elaborate temporary tattoo on you.
Few people will ever make it to the actual country of Morocco. Fortunately, this wonderful country is just a short drive away in your Orlando car rental at the World Showcase in EPCOT. Reserve your Orlando car rental today!
