Description

For lovers of photography and film, here is a unique photographic experience that will take you to the sites of filming famous movies.
Since 1954, Ouarzazate and its surroundings, for its exceptional lighting qualities and for the diversity of its natural settings, has become an essential center of world cinema.
Prestigious filmmakers such as Martin Scorsese, Benardo Bertolucci and Alejandro González Iñárritu have shot films that have marked their careers and the history of cinema. The last temptation of Christ, The Kundun, The Sheltering Sky, Babel ...
Large American productions have also taken Ouarzazate as a base to shoot their blockbusters, Kingdom of Heaven, Alexander the Great, Gladiator, James Bond spy ...
In addition to natural settings, the film industry has built sets that have remained on site and after shooting, they become extraordinary monuments, making the whole region very photogenic when looking for unusual and special images.
This photographic experience will allow you to discover both the ancestral and recent culture of a region, while returning to sites that you think you have already seen.
