Marrakech is today one of the most sought-after filming destinations in Africa and the Middle East. Every year, international productions, advertising campaigns, music videos, TV series and feature films choose the city for the richness of its locations, its exceptional climate, its infrastructure and its competitive production costs.

In under an hour's drive, it is possible to go from a historic medina listed as a UNESCO World Heritage site to a mineral desert, from a lush palm grove to the Atlas mountains, or even to contemporary villas, luxury hotels and modern film sets. This diversity makes Marrakech a true open-air film studio.

At Kaizer Media Productions, we support producers, directors, advertising agencies and international artists filming in Morocco. Our expertise covers location scouting, executive production, local coordination, logistics, casting, film equipment rental, and post-production.

Locations suited to every kind of project

Marrakech offers an exceptional variety of filming locations able to meet any creative direction.

The medina, its souks, historic palaces, riads and ramparts provide an authentic backdrop for period films, music videos or advertising campaigns.

Just a few kilometres away, the Palm Grove, the Agafay desert, Lalla Takerkoust lake and the Atlas mountains make it possible to recreate desert, Mediterranean or mountain landscapes without long travel distances.

For contemporary productions, the Guéliz and Hivernage districts, luxury hotels, rooftops, architect-designed villas and event spaces offer modern settings particularly sought after by international brands.

This proximity between completely different environments reduces travel time and helps optimize the production budget.

Filming permits in Morocco

Every audiovisual production must anticipate the administrative steps required before filming.

Depending on the nature of the project and the locations involved, a permit issued by the Moroccan Cinematographic Center (CCM) may be required to ensure the shoot complies with Moroccan regulations.

Certain shots also require coordination with local authorities, municipalities, security services or site managers.

The use of drones is also subject to specific regulations and must be organized in accordance with applicable procedures.

Working with a locally established production company makes it easier to handle administrative organization, logistics, location scouting and coordination with the various parties involved.
