Morocco has been a working backdrop for Italian fashion and film for decades — the light around Marrakech and the studio infrastructure at Ouarzazate have drawn Italian houses and productions for campaigns, editorials and features long before "shooting in Morocco" became a broader industry trend. Agos Security has built its event and close protection practice around exactly this kind of client: a production or a delegation that needs security woven into a shoot schedule rather than bolted on as an afterthought.
Production and Shoot Security
A fashion campaign or film shoot brings its own security profile — talent needing to move between set, fitting and hotel without being intercepted; equipment and locations that need controlling; a call sheet that changes daily and has to be re-briefed to the team each morning. We staff these engagements the way a production coordinator would expect: officers embedded with the unit, coordinating with local fixers and production managers, present at set but not visible in frame. This sits alongside our standard event security service, adapted for the pace and unpredictability of a shoot rather than a fixed venue.
Marrakech's Private Event Circuit
Beyond production work, Marrakech has become a regular stop for Italian private events — galas, milestone birthdays, brand launches held in riads and desert venues outside the city. These events bring a different security question than a shoot: guest list management, perimeter control at a venue that wasn't built for it, and close coverage for whichever principal the event is built around. We handle both the venue-level security and, where needed, dedicated close protection for hosts or honored guests moving through their own party.
Discreet Coverage for Public Figures
Italian actors, designers and other public figures holidaying in Morocco generally want the opposite of a visible security presence — plainclothes officers who read as friends or staff rather than guards, positioned to prevent an approach rather than to look imposing. This is the core of our work with celebrity and public-figure clients: low profile by default, with the ability to step up coverage quickly if a location becomes known or a crowd forms.
Direct flight connections between Italy and Morocco have expanded in recent years, which has made short leisure trips and long weekends more common alongside the traditional production and business travel — our residential security service covers the villa or riad side of those stays, whether it's a working production house or a private holiday rental.
