Across a wide promenade, the Koutoubia Minaret (a detailed replica of a famous prayer tower in Marrakesh) stands guard over the entrance to this 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 Bah Boujouioud 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.

In the Medina, a reproduction of the Chella Minaret in the capital city of Rabat rises above the shops and shoppers. There also stands a reproduction of the Nejjarine Fountain in Fez, representing the traditional village fountain.
