In one arena where you need to pay minimal fee of RM3 for adult and RM1 for kids, air conditioner not working and all rooms are smelly perhaps due to bad ventilation.

Visitors will feel as though they have been transported to the heart of Africa.

Replicating the distinctive features of Morocco’s oldest imperial cities, the colourful and artsy mosaic arrangements of the pavilion along with every touchable surface of the building are embellished with intricate carvings of geometrical patterns, Arabic calligraphy, and rhythmic patterns of...
