7/9/2023 0 Comments Blofeld spectre film![]() Morocco travelers come here to get their share of desert romance, hotels offer camel rides, trekking, 4×4 and Quad rides and even overnight stays in desert tents.įinding a decent hotel in Merzouga isn’t particularly hard. That is because of Erg Chebbi, a vast Sahara dune just at the doorstep of Merzouga. In those hours Rissani is as Arabic as it’s gets, leaving the touristic frenzy of the Marrakesh markets way behind.Īn hour south of Rissani is the small desert town Merzouga, more hotel collection than actual city. In the adjoining alleys, traders offer olives, fresh fruits and fish, others sell Berber clothes and furniture. Farmers bring their donkeys (you can buy one for around 500 dirham), as well as sheep and cows to the city and bargain about the fittest livestock. ![]() On Thursdays a glimpse of that past comes to live at the weekly souq al-himar, the “donkey market”. Old Ruins and precious palaces still remind visitors of the glorious past as a trading post between the Sahara and the Atlas Mountains. Rissani is the remnant of what was once the capital of Alawite rule in ancient Morocco. When in this part of Morocco, you should rather spent your time in Rissani and the desert town of Merzouga further south. Though the Spectre crew had set camp in Erfoud, the city itself is actually boring. But you then need to find a local driver for the trip to the Spectre crater. If you don’t fancy riding your own car, there are daily buses connecting Erfoud and Rissani with the bigger towns in the east and north of Morocco. You can manage one way within a day, and Moroccan traffic is much less painful then in other Arab countries. ![]() We advise to rent a car already in one of the bigger towns like Marrakesh or Fez (book online to safe some serious money!) and then drive into the desert. We managed the ride with a little, sturdy Hyundai. Many will advise you to take a 4×4, but you can safe the money. To get to the Spectre crater just get off the road and drive across the desert. Follow route N12 out of the city and after a short time you will see Gara Medouar. It is just a ten minute drive from Rissani. The best way to reach the Spectre crater is by car. Gara Medouar is located about 12 kilometers east of the town Rissani and 20 kilometers southeast of Erfoud. Thus, the plateau from the movie is just a computer illusion: The Spectre crew had built both Blofeld’s villa and command center outside the mountain and later combined both.Ī fake villa was photoshopped into the crater – modeled after a luxury home in Marrakesh Inside the circle are smaller mountains, trees and rough cliffs. Gara Medouar is a strange circular erosion, the opening fortified some centuries ago with a mud brick wall by the Portuguese. The crater is called Gara Medouar – and is neither a crater nor a volcano, as it is also described from time to time. He befittingly gets pickep up with a Rolls Royce. ![]() So the mission gets from professional to personal – Bond travels deep into the desert, where Blofeld operates from a secret lair built inside a meteorite crater. The organization is a network of criminals, led by Blofeld (Christoph Waltz), Bonds foster brother Franz Oberhauser. In the 24th James Bond film, the secret agent (Daniel Craig) uncovers that a sinister organization was behind numerous terrorists attacks in the past.
