'Oasis: Into the Wild' Is Bringing Electronic Music to the Moroccan Desert
The immersive 3-day festival will take place in Ouarzazate, known as the gateway to the Sahara desert.
Oasis: Into The Wildmight be the most unique festival destination in North Africa.
For three days, musicians and attendees get to revel at Atlas Studios in Ouarzazate, Morocco (where the likes of Gladiator,Game of Thrones, and The Mummy were filmed) to the sounds of a highly-curated line-up of international and national electronic artists.

Away from the dance floor, the festival—which was first launched in Marrakech in 2015—will feature the debut of famed Moroccan artist Hassan Hajjaj and collective Art Comes First's collaborative photo exhibition.
Mbari House will host the opening party and serve as the festival's cultural center, hosting film screenings, Tea Talks, Pop Ups, and art installations, including the Hassan Hajjaj x Art Comes First collaboration, a Jajjah pop up, and an Andy Waloo store.
In other areas, the festival will have wellness options, with yoga teachers, psychologist and a holistic therapist. The Moroccan Square will host the best of Moroccan street food vendors and cocktals from Marrakech's Barometre.
