Can't believe I was there Tuesday a week ago. We ate at Spice Road Table because a friend of mine loves Mediterranean food. We loved it!I agree there’s a similarity in terms of the ingredients and general diet.
I just don’t find the actual dishes much alike. Moroccan dishes that do contain meat for example often use it on the bone whereas I’ve not a Greek dish that does that. And Moroccan dishes seem to use more spices.
Now I’m hungry!
You’re absolutely right. As someone who hails from the other end of the Mediterranean and grew up eating food very similar to Greek, I can confirm that Moroccan cuisine is very different, which is hardly surprising given the distance involved (there are as many miles between Greece and Morocco as there are between the UK and Russia).
Eh… that seems to be a very one-sided way of telling that haha.
The company who operated went bust? I thought it was the country backing out, but that seems not to make sense since the Morocco Pavilion is the most authentic built by them which they would be proud of to continue.
The company who were running it when Covid caused the parks to shut went bust.
I must have missed it, but what work were they doing?Scaffolding has come down and walls have shifted in the pavilion - photos from today.

Thank you!I'm not entirely sure, but here's the news article from @wdwmagic when the walls went up.

I think just general maintenance, almost every world showcase pavilion has been touched up over the last year.
Thanks! This is good to know!
It is a very unfortunate downgrade indeed. And needless too, as the existing tiles were more than salvageable.
Photos from as recently as 2023 show that the tiles were in good shape. Had the powers that be wanted to reuse them, they certainly could have. Alas, they decided to cut corners (and get rid of genuine art) instead.
