The Best Indiana Jones Locations You Can Visit with Culture Trip

Let’s go back to where it all started, and you can understand why Lucas and Spielberg chose Egypt as the focal point of their first archeological adventure epic. A lot of the filming was actually done in Tunisia, but much of the most iconic scenes in Raiders of the Lost Ark (1981) take place in Cairo, as well as the archeological site of Tanis. You can follow in the footsteps of Indy, Marion and Sallah on our eight-day Egypt trip by experiencing the chaos of Khan Al-Khalili bazaar first hand – luckily you won’t be chased by sword-wielding henchmen in the process. You’ll also channel your inner-Indy by exploring the Pyramids, the Sphinx and the ancient temples of Luxor, Karnak and Kom Ombo. Other destinations featured in Raiders include Nepal and an unnamed Greek island where the film’s horrifying climax takes place.
