Atlas Film Studios is Morocco’s leading film studio, located in Ouarzazate in the heart of the Saharan desert. Its huge outdoor film sets and magnificent desert backdrop have been used to film many famous movies and TV shows, including Gladiator, Lawrence of Arabia, The Mummy, and Game of Thrones.

Atlas Studios is open daily year-round from 8:30am until sunset. Tours typically run every half-hour, depending on the demand, and there is no need to book in advance. Note that certain sets and locations may be off-limits during active filming periods, but tours still run.

Atlas Studios is located in the Sahara desert, about a 3-hour drive southeast of Marrakech. There’s no public transport, so you’ll need to join a tour, rent a car, or hire a private driver. Most tours combine a visit with the nearby UNESCO–listed site of Kasbah of Aït Ben Haddou (Ksar of Ait Benhaddou).

Many legendary movies and modern blockbusters were filmed at Atlas Studios, and tours are full of fun facts about familiar films. Among the most famous are Gladiator, The Jewel of the Nile, Kingdom of Heaven, The Hills Have Eyes, Game of Thrones, and The Mummy.
