Sirāt (2025): Filming Locations in Morocco and Spain

The film begins with a rave in the desert of southern Morocco, where Luis and Esteban hope to find Mar, the missing daughter. It was actually shot in Spain, at the Rambla de Barrachina near Teruel. Laxe describes the red ground and "two symmetrical mountains, like God created it that way on purpose". The clay canyons, about 65 hectares of ochre relief, were chosen to pass for Morocco, because Spanish funding rules required part of the film to be shot in Spain.

場所の精度: The film places this rave in Morocco; the pin marks the Rambla de Barrachina near Teruel where it was shot.

Los Monegros was the first idea for the Spanish part of the shoot, before the crew settled on Barrachina. Areas such as Jubierre and Castejón de Monegros supplied open horizons and a desert look. On screen the story moves on after the rave: the small group of ravers breaks away in vans, and Luis, Esteban and their dog follow them south towards a place "close to Mauritania".

場所の精度: The articles name Jubierre and Castejón de Monegros without exact spots; the pin marks Jubierre.

The cliff-edge tragedy was shot on the Tagounsta road, a mountain track the French Legion built in the 1920s while fighting Berber tribes. Laxe says it has no real logic, but it was wide enough for the production's trucks. In the story, the convoy frees a stuck van, and in the middle of the celebration Luis's van rolls backwards off a cliff with Esteban and the dog inside. The crew lived in tents on this road.

場所の精度: The director says only that the road is near Errachidia; the pin marks the town, not the road.

The final desert sequence was shot in the Haroun desert near Erfoud, which Laxe picked for its very white sand, "almost like salt". In the story, Jade asks the group to improvise one last rave with two loudspeakers, and the sand turns out to hide a minefield. The Moroccan shoot lasted about four weeks in summer 2024, mostly around Errachidia and Erfoud.

場所の精度: Laxe names the Haroun desert near Erfoud only; the pin marks Erfoud.

The film ends with the three survivors riding an ore train across the desert. It was a real train, rented for the shoot at Gara Medouar, and the producers say it was tricky to organise. Gara Medouar is a limestone massif rising about 50 metres above the desert, best known as the SPECTRE headquarters in the James Bond film Spectre (2015).

場所の精度: The train was filmed at Gara Medouar, but the exact track location is not stated; the pin marks the massif.
