Ait Benhaddou, the movie village

This was a list of movies produced or filmed in the area, posted in the ksar. I looked up the latest, “Queen of the Desert,” released in 2015, and Wiki says it was filmed in Merzouga (where my Sahara pictures were taken), also in Petra, Jordan, then in Erfoud (where we stayed before our Sahara adventure), Marrakech (where we went next) and Ouarzazate, where Ait Benhaddou is located https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Queen_of_the_Desert_(film)

Fascinating landscape for the movies, and good for the local economy too.

Never seen this one or this movie is not release yet ! Very interesting capture of the billboard and I love it, Helen. BV+++ P.S. I am a movie collector as well other than taking photo. I have more than 400 blue rays in my 4 x 4 T hard disk for my collection.
