Morocco is a charming country that draws people from all over, not just visitors. The variety of the landscapes and the great ambient lighting for filmmaking draw a large number of production companies to the nation. Morocco is frequently used as a location for TV shows, movies, and blockbusters.
The Last Temptation of Christ (1988), Babel (2006), Gladiator (2000), Inception (2010), and The Man Who Knew Too Much (1995)... This is but a small sampling of the movies made in Morocco. In his movie The Last Temptation of Christ, director Martin Scorcese included Moroccan locations from the Bible (1988).
The landscapes of Morocco were also a significant help in Alain Chabat's Mission Cléopatre and Ridley Scott's Gladiator (2000) in recreating ancient Rome and Egypt, respectively (2002). For the next House of the Dragon series, whose events take place 300 years before those of Game of Thrones, kasbahs and desert settings will be used to replicate the fictional country of Westeros in HBO's cinematic re-imagining of George R.R. Martin's Game of Thrones universe.
