Welcome to Ouarzazate — Morocco’s “Hollywood of Africa”, where the High Atlas meets the desert, and cinema history is carved into clay and stone.
More than just a backdrop, this cinematic capital has hosted blockbusters like Gladiator, Game of Thrones, Lawrence of Arabia, The Mummy, Dune, and Black Panther. But this isn’t a theme park — it’s a living studio: real kasbahs, authentic artisans, and desert light that has shaped global storytelling for over 60 years.
This immersive experience invites you to:
→ Walk the very sets where Russell Crowe dueled and Daenerys rose
→ Discover how Moroccan craftsmanship brings fantasy to life
→ Meet local extras, carpenters, and costume makers — the unsung heroes of the silver screen
→ Understand why directors return again and again: the light, the silence, the soul
A must for cinephiles, photographers, and dreamers — where reality and reel become one.
