"Where Was Gladiator Filmed? Discover Morocco’s Iconic Movie Locations"
- When you think of the epic movie Gladiator starring Russell Crowe, you may imagine ancient Roman arenas and grand empires. But much of the film’s powerful desert scenes were actually shot in Morocco, specifically in Ouarzazate, a town often called the “Hollywood of Africa.”

- Ouarzazate’s dramatic landscapes and famous film studios have made it a top location for historical and adventure films. For Gladiator, the production team built entire sets in the desert, creating the illusion of Roman North Africa — with the Atlas Mountains adding a stunning natural backdrop.
