Atlas Studios

We really enjoyed our trip here which was hugely because of our guide Karim- he’s magic! If you get to spend the time with him then you’re lucky. Insane knowledge and understated humour whilst letting you take your time to chill and take photos to. It’s an interesting little place. If you’re in the area or close by… visit!

This was one of the stops from our excursion. The entrance fee was not included in the price of our excursion so we had to pay eight euros to enter. Some of the sets are quite nice and well decorated. We are not sure if there is always a guided tour however, we were roughly 16 in our group, and had a guide the entire way. The good thing is that we received all the exclamations for the various sets and the downside obviously is that we couldn’t spend too much time in any particular location as the tour continued on. It’s nice to visit if you’re in the area however, we believe that visiting Ait Benhaddou is more cultural and interesting to discover. We imagine this spot great for families visiting with kids.

If you are In Ouarzazate then it’s worth taking time out for, not to travel to. Our tour was made by our young guide. He was knowledgeable, confident and made the tour fun by participation, involving the group in short movie making. We laughed and had fun which in my opinion made the tour. Kingdom of Heaven set can be seen in distance from studios and to visit you need to buy an extra ticket which we didn’t do. You can walk or drive to it and were discouraged as we didn’t have a 4x4 but on inspection I think we could have driven it in a normal car.

We visited the Studios November 2022. It was a lovely visit. The tickets weren't particularly expensive and you get to go about with the guide who shares interesting facts about the films made there and asks to guess the scenes from the films based on the displayed props. The tour is wonderful as the guide even involves the group into enacting some scenes from some famous films. We were amazed how many scenes from famous films have been made there. Truly amazing. Another interesting and rather bizarre things - you are allowed to go close and touch the props. It definitely makes the experience a lot more real. Once the tour is finished, you are allowed to venture around and have another look. Really nice and non pressured experience to get out once the tour is over. A tiny criticism - it would be great to have some information at each prop /scene to read about/learn the origins as otherwise it feels that we end up missing out some interesting facts. The carpark outside is also roomy for parking. The place is definitely worth a visit.

VISITS ATLAS STUDIOS IS OPEN TO THE PUBLIC A studio visit is both authentic and magical, a voyage where at any moment, in each movie set, magic is at work to show the soul underlying the success of so many well-known films. Atlas Studios is a movie wonderland, known in Ouarzazate for keeping its sets and reorganizing them in order to offer a wide range of choices to production studios, but also for letting tourists experience the unique thrill of the movies as they discover the Moroccan Hollywood: Ouarzawood. Atlas Studios gives you the chance to see for yourself the sets where so many successful films and series have been shot, including “Gladiator”, “Prince of Persia” or “Game of Thrones.” During the guided visit, you will explore the backstage areas, hear inside anecdotes, and learn about the evolution in construction methods over time. It is not uncommon, during a studio visit, to stumble upon a film shoot in progress, coming face-to- face with real actors in costume. At the end of your visit, you can find something to remember your experience by in our souvenir boutique.
