Located within the Botanical Gardens, the Moroccan Pavilion is designed to showcase the rich arts and architecture of Morocco. — Tourism Malaysia



IT takes about 14 hours to fly to Morocco from Malaysia. But with international borders still closed, the next best option for a Middle Eastern holiday during this pandemic can be found at the administrative capital of the country.

Hidden within the Putrajaya Botanical Gardens is the Moroccan Pavilion, a fantastical venue that gives visitors the impression they are in the “Santorini of Africa”.
