Morocco 2023-2024 Day 15 (1/2/2024) - Ouarzazate - Atlas Studios

Outside Ourzazate is Atlas Studios. Measured by acreage, it is the world's largest film studio. Most of the property lies in the nearby desert and mountains. Many sets from the filming of various movies remain in place and, because of this, the studio also operates with guided tours and has become a popular tourist destination. Some of the Movies filmed here include Lawrence of Arabia,The Jewel of the Nile, The Living Daylights, Aladdin (2019 film), The Mummy, Gladiator (and soon to be released Gladiator II), Kingdom of Heaven, Asterix & Obelix: Mission Cleopatra, Babel, Game of Thrones, Atlantis, Vikings, Prison Break and many more.
