It was Super cool to walk around here and see all the different thrones used in varias movies types from Egyptian to Old and Viking style. Northern African movies. It was 30dhm to enter and definitely worth it for a quick visit in and out. The Gladiator was filmed here for example.

Very cool old movie memorabilia. You can walk around and explore as you like. It's a great place for kids to explore and wander around. They have old movie equipment, props, and sets from movies filmed in Ouarzazate.

Get a guide if you want to know which movie sets the location/items were apart of.

It was an interesting experience and it felt like you are part of a movie but honestly the place needs some renovation. The museum itself has a lot of unique exhibits and can provide you with a very specific experience while traveling through it, but as everything seems abandoned, you feel like you just jumped a fence into an old building and you’re exploring it. Definitely worth the visit for the low price but don’t expect a well set and prepared path to follow.

I believe it is possible to get a tour guide here, however, we did not. We thoroughly enjoyed the museum because we went and made our own little films. On the whole, a great place where you can go and do whatever you want, as no one is around. Can’t give it a five star review though as there is little to no information, so you can’t tell what was used where.
