Epcot's Morocco Pavilion is one of my favorites even if they somehow forgot to include an actual attraction here. If ever there was a pavilion screaming for a Camel themed thrill ride this is it!

Even without a ride this is a fun place to visit and walk through because the attention to detail is incredible. Often in any part of a Disney park you can appreciate the detail but your brain still knows it's all Disney fakery (er, magic). Here it's different, it all feels and looks real. Of course, that's probably because nine tons of handmade tiles were shipped from the real Morocco to Epcot to make this pavilion. If there is one thing Moroccan's know it's how to make cool tiles.

Just walking through the shops is a fun experience too as well as the "back alley" streets where you actually feel like a real mugging or kidnapping could be just around the corner. Authentic!

Kids will enjoy stopping at the Kidcot Fun Stop here or stop in the shops and have your kids ask the cast members to write their names in Arabic for a cool souvenir.

The main table service restaurant here is Restaurant Marrakesh which offers a variety of Moroccan delicacies like roast lamb, shish kebab, steamed mussels, couscous and brochette of chicken. Or try the counter service Tangierine Cafe which is quite delicious.

When you're done eating walk it all off at the various shops here which include The Brass Bazaar, Casablanca Carpets, Souk-al-Magreb, and Tangier Traders. If you have kids don't forget to stop at the Kidcot Fun Stop here.
