JW3 Shoot – Heading to Merzouga – Update!

Many thanks to Mehdi Alem for sharing a photo on FB along with the information that the next filming location will be Merzouga.

Merzouga is a small Moroccan town in the Sahara Desert, near the Algerian border. It’s known as a gateway to Erg Chebbi, a huge expanse of sand dunes north of town. West of Merzouga, Dayet Srji is a seasonal salt lake that’s often dry in summer. When full, it attracts a wide range of migratory and desert birds, including desert warblers, Egyptian nightjars and, occasionally, flamingos.

Update: Cast and crew appear to have arrived safely.

Many thanks to heme_style for sharing two clips of the cast and crew boarding the plane to leave and a clip on the plan arriving on IG story. They’re here, here and here.
