Italian TV channel to shoot popular program in Morocco

The program which is the Italian version of "Married at first sight" features six people who agree to participate in an extreme experiment: Four specialists -- a sexologist, a spiritualist, a psychologist and a sociologist -- use scientific matchmaking methods to determine each couple, who will not have met or had contact with each other until the wedding day. The series then documents the relationships, including honeymoons and other relatable events of married life. After several weeks, each couple must decide whether to remain together or go their individual ways.

The new couples will spend their honeymoon discovering the monuments, historical sites and other remarkable sites in Taghazout, Marrakech and Ouarzazate. 

General manager of the Moroccan national tourism office, Abderrafia Zouitene, said this opportunity will give the TV reality show followers (estimated at 1 million viewers) a chance to discover Morocco, adding that this is part of the strategy directed at priority markets.

The episode showing Morocco will last 45 minutes and will be broadcast during prime time in January 2016. SH MAP 281043 GMT Sep 2015
