Morocco's Pavilion

Across a wide promenade, the Koutoubia Minaret (a detailed replica of a famous prayer tower in Marrakesh) stands guard over the entrance to the Morocco pavilion in World Showcase at Epcot.

MOROCCO'S PAVILION AT EPCOT'S WORLD SHOWCASE
    In the center of the rectangular courtyard is an ornate fountain lined with thousands of multi-colored tiles. Like most Moroccan cities, the showcase is divided into two sections, the Ville Nouvelle (new city) and the Medina (old city). The entrance to the Medina, the thriving marketplace of Moroccan cities, is usually through an arched gate. Guests pass beneath pointed arches and the swirling blue patches of Bab Boujouloud Gate, a replica of a gateway in the city of Fez. Just inside the gateway is the Fez House, a replica of a traditional Moroccan home.
