When designing Adventureland for Disneyland Paris, Imagineers intended to keep the original idea of blending exotic environments from Africa, Asia and the Caribbean.

Yet, since the One Thousand and One Arabian Nights are part of the European vision of exotism, they decided to add a middle-eastern pavilion at the entrance of the land.

[1] In 1992, at the opening of the land, the building originally featured a covered maze-like street network and many shops, including: Les Trésors de Schéhérazade (Schaharazade's Treasures), L'Echoppe d'Aladin (Aladin's Shop), La Reine des Serpents (The Snake Queen), Le Chant des Tam-Tams (The Tam-Tams' Song), and La Girafe Curieuse (The Curious Giraffe).

In 1993, one year after the release of the Disney film Aladdin, a walkthrough attraction opened in the Bazaar, named Le Passage Enchanté d'Aladdin (Aladdin's Enchanted Passage).

In 1999, most of the building was turned into the mediterranean table service restaurant Agrabah Café, with the exception of Le Passage Enchanté d'Aladdin, Les Trésors de Schéhérazade, and La Girafe Curieuse.
