As Norma Desmond said to the famous film producer Cecil B Demille there is one place to visit when you are in your luxury villa in Marrakech and that is the famous Atlas Film Studio. Situated in Quarzazate it’s 2 hour drive to this amazing studio, but worth it. This studio is one of the best Morocco tourist attractions set in a fantastic desert like landscape and is a must see for all visitors to Morocco.
Morocco is also known as the Hollywood of Morocco. The film sets in the Atlas Film Studio have been a favourite with the directors of period movies. There are a numerous international blockbusters that have been shot in Atlas Film Studio in Morocco. These include The Jewel of the Nile, Cleopatra, Lawrence of Arabia and the Sheltering Sky. In addition to these a few scenes from the recent blockbusters Star Wars and Gladiator have also been shot there.
There are guided tours around the studio and visitors take an elaborate round of the film sets where all the film stars had once performed. If luck prevails the visitors might even chance meeting one of their favourite stars in the studio in full action !!
After an exciting day at the film studios hoping to be “discovered’ you can then drive home to your Morocco quality villa and sample some film star living.
