You are picked up at 9:00 am from your accommodation in Ouarzazate and start at the Taourirt Kasbah, a maze of earth-coloured walls, houses and fortifications that has served as a backdrop for Hollywood films such as Gladiator and Prince of Persia.
You continue to the Atlas Film Corporation Studios to see film sets and hear stories from Ouarzazate’s film history, from Lawrence of Arabia in the 1960s to the desert scenes of Game of Thrones.
