Well he’s no Jake Gyllenhaal, but Mohammad was the keeper of movie things. He had filled a small disused synagogue with ancient stuff and then rented it out to unsuspecting movie makers at a ripe price. He also tried to sell me a blanket, but then you can’t take the Arab out of the Arabs can you.
As a holiday destination Morocco certainly has a lot going for it: sunshine, spices, eating with your fingers and the Prince of Persia, what more could a girl ask for? Maybe a road trip to the famous Atlas studios complete with Egyptian Pharaohs (you know, because we are in Morocco, but Egypt is more famous, so we’ll use their history…)
Atlas and the surrounding Kasbahs have seen a lot of movie action over the years but I was pleased to find out that they have recently taken part in helping the Prince to reach the silver screen. And why not, just look at the environment they have to work with:
Amazing. I couldn’t look at anything without planning how I could scale it, collect some shiny sand, accidentally leap to my death and then rewind time. Now if only I could forward time to when the movie actually comes out… and get past this damn pigeon without alerting the guards…
