Complejo cinematográfico pionero en el desierto de Ouarzazate, conocido como la Hollywood del Sur de Marruecos, donde se han rodado grandes producciones internacionales con sets impresionantes.
CLA Film Studios in Ouarzazate are normally open for most of the day, especially during high season. It is best to check directly with the studios to confirm the exact opening hours on the day of your visit, as they may vary. You can find more information on the Ouarzazate tourism website or ask at your accommodation.
Admission to CLA Film Studios usually has a fee, but it is not overly expensive. Prices may vary a little, so I recommend asking directly when you arrive. They do not usually offer major group discounts unless it is a very organized or school visit. Be sure to bring cash in Moroccan dirhams, just in case.
To have a good experience and appreciate everything CLA Film Studios have to offer, I would recommend allowing at least 1 to 2 hours. This will give you time to walk around, take photos on the different sets, and immerse yourself in the cinematic atmosphere. If you are a big film fan, you might want to stay a little longer.
CLA Film Studios are famous for having served as the setting for many international productions. They have hosted the filming of movies such as 'Gladiator,' 'The Mummy,' 'Lawrence of Arabia,' and the series 'Game of Thrones,' among many others. Their importance lies in the combination of nearby desert landscapes and the studio infrastructure they offer.
The best time to visit Ouarzazate and CLA Film Studios is from autumn to spring, from September to May, when temperatures are more pleasant. In summer, the heat can be intense. During the day, I suggest going early in the morning or late in the afternoon to avoid the busiest hours and the strongest sun, especially if you are visiting in high season.
In general, CLA Film Studios are quite spacious and outdoors, which makes movement easier. However, there may be some areas with uneven ground or steps. It is advisable to contact them in advance if you need specific assistance, as accessibility infrastructure in Morocco can vary. It is always best to confirm.
Yes, absolutely. Ouarzazate is known as the 'Gateway to the Desert' and has a lot to offer. You should not miss the famous Atlas Studios (another film-related visit), and above all, the impressive Aït Benhaddou Kasbah, a UNESCO World Heritage Site that is very close by and spectacular. You can also explore the city of Ouarzazate itself and its kasbah.
Of course. Here are a few tips: bring water, sunscreen, and a hat, especially if you visit during the middle of the day, as the sun can be intense. Comfortable shoes are essential for walking around the sets. Do not forget your camera to capture the scenery. And if you can, try to go on a weekday to avoid possible weekend crowds.
