This is my first post here. I decided to share my observations on Indiana Jones filming locations. This topic is one of my favorites. I hope that my additions to this topic you will have interesting. So, I will begin with ROTLA. The locations are approximate, but very close to the real (I think ). ..... Part of the truck chase I think was shot around this area - about 7 km NE of Metlaoui, Tunisia on the C122 road (34°21'55.57"N, 8°25'44.36"E)
By my opinion this is the same location, but I am not sure.
I got all my Indy locations on Google Earth file (and a lot of pics) .
One link about Tunisian locations http://homepage.ntlworld.com/colin.kenworthy1/compare.htm
That's all for now. Soon I will post and other Indy filming locations. I hope you like it!
Hi Jones Junior, thanks for making this photo comparison I've never looked at these two pics side by side and made the connection. I think you are correct. I have travelled along the modern tarmac road and it's hard to tell after 30 years whether the roads still exactly follow their old routes Next time I'm in Tunisia I'll check it out more closely. Incidentally, the dirt road where they filmed Indy going under the truck is just a little further up this road on a fork to the right (at the right hand base of that flat topped hill).
Thanks also for linking to my 'comparison' website, also to Indie House for pointing out my Kairouan video. Sadly I don't know where Sallah's terrace is or it would have gone in the video too. I had to cram everything in because of YouTube's 10 minute limit.
Thanks to all posters in this thread - I learned something new today
