Just an aside back to Game of Thrones, just spent 5 days in Marrakech Morocco (which I recommend) and one day had a tour that included a stop at Atlas Studios (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Atlas_Corporation_Studios) which is about 2 hrs from the city and where many of the scenes set in Essos were filmed. Another day hit the coastal town of Essaouira where a few more sequences were shot. Lots of films shot in those studios - Gladiator 1 and 2, Kingdom of Heaven, Kundun, etc.
