- FEATURES
- The sights and sounds of North Africa are reproduced in this
graceful pavilion of traditional Moorish design with its arches
and an open patio.
-
- Interior: One section of the pavilion is a bazaar,
where Moroccan goods are for sale. Elsewhere, works by Moroccan
artists are on display, as well as documents and memorabilia
significant to Morocco's history. An information center offers
advice on import - export trade and acquaints the visitor with
the country's tourist attractions.
-
- Highlights
-
- Land of the Bazaar: Expert craftsmen and women in
Moroccan dress weave carpets and make brass ware and leather
goods. Visitors can see them knotting rugs, making more than
20,000 knots per square yard at the rate of a yard a week. Moroccan
wines and food are also on sale.
-
- Restaurants: There are three restaurants, all of which
present different surroundings and prices. A sidewalk cafe is
in front, a serve-yourself cafeteria in the rear. The indoor
restaurant, the "1001 Nights" offers Moroccan menus
and entertainment; dancers, singers and musicians.
