Game of Thrones filming sites and the September 8th Morocco earthquake. 🇲🇦

Several locations in Morocco were used for location filming in Game of Thrones. They were all affected by the recent earthquake though were not in the most severely struck area.

Essaouira served as Astapor in Season 3. It's located on the Atlantic coast. The effect of the quake in Essaouira was IV to VI on the Mercalli Scale which measures local intensity.

Aït Benhaddou filled in as Yunkai, another Slaver's Bay location from Season 3. Aït Benhaddou is about 22 km from Ouarzazate which is the home of Atlas Studios where some production took place. In Aït Benhaddou/Ouarzazate the quake measured VI to VII on the Mercalli Scale.

Here's Daenerys just outside Yunkai/Aït Benhaddou in S03E10.

In terms of lives lost and number of injuries, this is the second worst earthquake in Moroccan history. Many historical and culturally significant buildings were damaged or destroyed.
