This huge complex covering an enormous area features world showcases from around the globe. There are pavilions from the UK,USA, France, Italy, Asia,India, Mexico, Morroco, Egypt and many more. Don’t expect the authenticity of main street USA at Disney World. Some of the building facades are quite crude, others better.The gift shops in some of the pavilions look more like market stalls others more sophisticated.In my opinion the exhibits from Egypt and Morroco were spectacular. Each country featured theme rides or theatrical entertainment but these can be expensive and you need to book them in advance as they are extremely popular.I did manage to watch a 2d movie of Aladdin on an enormous 360 degree screen within the spectacular spherical dome that dominates the show ground. Additional attractions are the exotic birds and parrots in the petting zoo with photographic opportunities, also the huge boating lake with gondola’s and the chair lifts that transgress the exhibit.Food in the concessions is very expensive be warned! If you are a senior like me you should enquire about wheelchair or mobility scooter availability. At eighty years of age I ended up walking six miles it was gruelling. There is a long walk from the car park to the entrance and they really should run a shuttle service. All things considered it was well worth a visit especially at night. Expect crowds at weekends the best time to visit is late afternoon.

A huge mall in fashionable down town with adequate parking and prestigious shops. Fantastic child’s under cover amusement park with a roller coaster. Large food court. Went to the M&S coffee shop which was unable to provide some dishes and cold drinks, with very apologetic staff.
