Morocco is a pretty fascinating pavilion and has lots of secrets and tales.

It was one of the few pavilions that were actually funded with the help of the country itself. The King of Morocco wanted it to be a true depiction of his country, so much so that Morocco architects were involved in the design of the pavilion. Everything from the tiles to the mosque are created to be perfect examples of Morocco.... well almost perfect.

You might notice small flaws such as cracked tiles. These tiny mistakes are actually deliberate. Many from Morocco believe that only Allah has the ability to make something perfect so they purposely made mistakes in their design of the pavilion.
