SOUTHERN MOROCCO

A studio in the landscape

Discover Ouarzazate dates the founding of Atlas Studios to 1983 and connects its production history with The Jewel of the Nile, Gladiator, Babel and Kundun. This is a working film environment as well as a visitor attraction.

Reading a film set

A guided visit can reveal how construction, perspective and the surrounding landscape combine to suggest another place. Ask which sets are accessible on the day rather than expecting a particular film scene.

Before visiting

Check current opening, admission and production restrictions directly. Published tour lengths and set counts are not a guarantee of what is available on your date.

Make a day of it

Keep a separate part of the day for Taourirt and the city. Studio scenery and real heritage sites have different histories; both deserve context.
