Where/What is Ouarzazate?


The Marathon des Sables is based out of Quarzazate Morroco in Northwest Africa. Apparently it is like the Hollywood of Africa without the glitz. Films such as Lawrence of Arabia (1962), Star Wars (1977), The Living Daylights (1987), The Last Temptation of Christ (1988), The Mummy (1999), Gladiator (2000) and Martin Scorsese's Kundun (1997)  Babel, Cleopatra etc... were shot in the Ouarazate area.
