# Malta or Morocco for a fashion shoot

Malta puts several looks within short drives, with a simple production in English. Morocco is built around desert, medinas and kasbahs.

## Side by side

- **Looks.** Malta offers baroque limestone towns, gardens, harbours and rock coast. Morocco offers desert, mountains, medinas, riads and kasbahs.
- **Winter daytime high.** About 15 to 17°C in Malta, and about 18°C in Marrakech in January, according to [Weather2Travel](https://www.weather2travel.com/morocco/marrakech/january/).
- **Distances.** Most Malta locations are 15 to 45 minutes apart by road. Moroccan looks are spread across a much larger country.
- **Language and money.** Malta is in the EU and the euro zone, and English is an official language.
- **Permits.** Malta permits go through councils and site authorities, usually in one to two weeks. Filming in Morocco needs a permit from the [Centre Cinématographique Marocain](https://ccm.ma/foreign_production/pe/index.html), which covers your format.

Malta suits a brief with baroque stone, gardens and rock coast within short drives, in an EU country where English is an official language and the currency is the euro. Morocco suits a picture built around desert, kasbahs or tilework.

### Can Malta double for Morocco or North Africa?

Yes, for stone lanes, bare rock and strong light. Malta stood in for Libya in 13 Hours and for Alexandria in Agora.
