At the ksar of Ait Ben Haddou [Ait-Ben-Haddou-travel-guide-1074352] there is a list on display with movies filmed here, on it are movies like:Lawrence of Arabia (1962) Kundun (1997), Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time (2010)
Pictures with this list show the set of Lawrence of Arabia and Gladiator (2000) but other movies on the list are not filmed at the actual ksar, but in de surrounding mountains
For the movie The Jewel of the Nile (1985) they even extended the ksar: they build a new gate which still stands on the site, not directly connected to the ksar but at the river bank
The ksar acts as the city Yunkai in its full glory in the popular series Game of Thrones
The list of movies also contains: The Living Daylights (1987), Cleopatra (1998),The Bible (2012), Kingdom of Heaven (2005)
But there are some missing compared with the list in Wikipedia:
Sodom And Gomorrah (1963)
Oedipus Rex (1967)
The Man Who Would Be King (1975)
The Message (1976)
Jesus of Nazareth (1977)
Time Bandits (1981)
Marco Polo (1982)
The Last Temptation of Christ (1988)
The Sheltering Sky (1990)
Alexander (2004)
One Night with the King (2006)
Son of God (film) (2014
It's going to take me some time to view or review them all to make out who's list is correct, maybe my fellow TB-ers can help me out here?
