Limping Olympiads in Hollywood
March 31, 2007
Ourzazat is the Hollywood of Morocco. Parts of Gladiator and Jesus of Nazareth was filmed here ... and many other movies. But I am here for the kasbahs in the area.
Morocco is pretty open-minded ... some Muslim countries would be quite opposed to filming of movies like Jesus of Nazareth ... the movies would be blasphemous due to faces of people like Jesus, Moses or Abraham (who are also Muslim prophets) being depicted.
There are many foreigners limping around town today. The town is experiencing the spillover guests from the Marathon Des Sables ... a marathon in the desert.
