A Tour of the Atlas Studios

As an added bonus today we visited the Atlas studio, Morocco’s largest film studio known for shooting part of famous films such as Gladiator One, Gladiator Two, Jewel of the Nile, Aladdin, Ten Commandments, Ben-Hur, Asterix, The Passion of Christ, The First Night, Prison Break, and The Game of Thrones, to name a few. It is 43 hecters large and most sets are made of plaster, which can need repair if it rains. Thankfully that is very infrequent. With the help of the tour guide we were able to shoot a small clip from the movie Cleopatra which was a blast and we got to keep a copy. We were also shown the studio where the latest commercial for a Hermes watch was filmed. What a delightful tour.En savoir plus
