What to do in Morocco at EPCOT

The short answer

The Morocco pavilion opened in 1984, built around a replica of the Koutoubia Mosque minaret. It has 2 attractions, shows and meets, 4 places to eat and drink and 2 shops. To see: Gallery of Arts and History. You can meet Princess Jasmine. The cheapest meal on our pages here is Oasis Sweets & Sips, about $8 a head.

It also copies the Bab Boujeloud gate into the medina of Fez and Rabat’s Chellah necropolis, and the Fes House shows a typical Moroccan home. King Hassan II sent Moroccan artisans to make the mosaics, which follow Islamic practice in showing no people. Morocco’s government sponsored the pavilion until Disney took full ownership in October 2020.

What is easy to miss in the Morocco pavilion?

The Gallery of Arts and History. Its current exhibit, on Disney's own page, is Race Against the Sun: the Berber peoples who have lived in the Sahara for thousands of years, and two modern races across it, a six-day, 155-mile run and an all-women off-road rally. Disney points out that the room is the other exhibit, with geometric tiles, cut-work and ironwork on every surface.

Through the copy of Bab Boujeloud, the gateway to the Fez medina, is a bazaar area, as Wikipedia describes it. Resorts Gal points to the Fes House and its tilework, and to henna artists, who price each design by how intricate it is.

Is Restaurant Marrakesh open?

No. Restaurant Marrakesh has not reopened as a restaurant since 2020, the Disney Food Blog reported in May 2025. Disney has used the room only as a lounge since, for Florida Blue members during the Food & Wine Festival and for Annual Passholders in summer 2025. To eat in Morocco now, Spice Road Table is the sit-down option and Tangierine Café the counter.

What entertainment is in the Morocco pavilion?

Princess Jasmine meets guests at an oasis at the edge of the pavilion, on Disney's page for the meet.

Atlas Fusion, a Moroccan band with a belly dancer, returned in 2022 for the Food & Wine Festival after last playing in 2020, BlogMickey reported. It was not in Disney's entertainment listing for World Showcase when we read it on 13 September 2026, so check the app for the day you visit.
