Ouarzazate, CLA Studios

Shot from the car, CLA Studios in Ouarzazate http://www.cla-studios.com/index.html Apparently this is the old studio; we saw a newer one with Isis figures decorating it, but not quite as interesting looking as this.

The Ouarzazate area is a noted filmmaking location, with Morocco's biggest studios inviting many international companies to work here. Films such as “Lawrence of Arabia” (1962), “The Living Daylights” (1987), “The Last Temptation of Christ” (1988), “The Mummy” (1999), “Gladiator” (2000), “Kingdom of Heaven” (2005), “Kundun” (1997), “Legionnaire” (1998), “Hanna” (2011) and “Salmon Fishing in Yemen” (2011) were shot here, as was part of the TV series “Game of Thrones.” (Wikipedia)

I haven't seen many of the movies... except Lawrence Of Arabia. One of my favorites for years and years and years.
