Movies filmed in Morocco have the best setting for the storylines, and it is a favourite of many directors. Morocco is a beautiful country with a rich culture. It is also the location of many of our favourite and famous movies. We are dating back to the 1940s when Casablanca came out. Morocco has not looked back on hosting some of our best movies. Here is a look at some top shoots.

The Mummy is one of the top movies shot in Morocco. It was a 1999 classic that still has people glued to the screen. The movie’s setting is Egypt, but most of the scenes are in the Southeastern region of the Morocco desert. Right in the volcanic crater near the town of Erfoud is where they created the set for the ‘ancient’ city of Hamunaptra. For the movie’s sequel, still, in the Morocco desert, they filmed using the Erg Chebbi desert dunes.

Another epic on the list of movies filmed in Morocco is Gladiator. With our favorite hero Maximus, the Roman general, played by Russell Crowe. The scenes of this movie in Morocco focus on his travels through the desert, when he is in slavery and then undergoes his gladiator training, all this in the Sahara Desert, in Ouarzazate.

Black Hawk Down is another of the movies filmed in Morocco. It is a critically acclaimed movie that won two Academy Awards. The story is about the battle between America and the rebel forces in Mogadishu, Somalia. The whole film was in the town of Sidi Moussa, Morocco. Morocco set the tone for this gripping movie.
