As we left the mountains behind on our way to Marrakesh, we made an interesting stop to Atlas Studios. A film studio located west of the city of Ouarzazate, it is the world's largest film studio measured by acreage.
Interestingly enough, while flying home, a documentary about Cleopatra was showing on the plane--and guess where it was filmed!!? It was very cool to watch it, remembering the feelings as we moved through those same spaces.
Some of the more notable movies filmed here:
The Jewel of the Nile
Prince of Persia
Indian Jones and the Dial of Destiny
Black Hawk Down
Queen Cleopatra (Netflix)
The Passion of Christ
The Living Daylights
Aladdin (2019 film)
