IHave you seen the SITC 2 film yet?
The exotic locations you see in the film Sex and the City 2 were all shot in Morocco. The story finds the four friends, Carrie (Sarah Jessica-Parker), Samantha (Kim Cattrall), Charlotte (Kristin Davis) and Miranda (Cynthia Nixon) on an all expenses paid vacation in Abu Dhabi. None of the Emirate countries gave the film crew permission to shoot, but Morocco was happy to accommodate, and they spent 8 weeks filming there in the fall of 2009. Personally, I think it would have made sense to change the location in the script to Morocco, but who am I to question the inner workings of Hollywood.
The amazing desert scenes you see in the movie, were all filmed in Erg Chebbi, an area of enormous sand dunes close to the town of Merzouga, in the Western Sahara. It takes about a day to get to the Sahara with a 4x4, but it's all worth the trip!
If you request, you could actually set up a bedouin tent here, and could spend the night underneath the Sahara stars and have a romantic evening. Ideal for an exotic honeymoon! Ofcouse, there are lots of travel agencies, who will take you there, and set up all the tents for you, so you wouldn't have to worry about anything...
Here are the other pictures froms the movie scenes.
I hope these photos of Marrakech inspires you the bohemian look!
Let me know if you are interested in knowing more about the hotels and restaurants in Marrakech!
