An article featured recently on the Hollywood Reporter said that Morocco is “the Arab world’s most popular destination for international shoots.”
The Hollywood Reporter said that “the hike was boosted by major productions led by Mission: Impossible 5, which closed a major highway bypass in Marrakech for almost two weeks for shoots,” including “NBC’s 12-episode biblical series A.D. The Bible Continues and Son of God.”
The Hoolywoode reporter said also that some “scenes for American Sniper, A Hologram for the King, Exodus: Gods and Kings and Queen of the Desert were also shot amid Morocco’s mountains and deserts” and that the “upcoming James Bond movie, Spectre, also shot a scene in the country in December and is reportedly set to return for a longer shoot this summer.”
Sarim Fassi-Fihri, the head of the Centre Cinématographique Marocain (CCM), told the aforementioned outlet that “for the Middle East region, we are practically the only one that can guarantee peace and stability.”
