I don't think it's the same place exactly. There are similar places in Egypt and that's where the finale takes place. From the trailer I don't think that location is in a canyon and it's not maintained as well as the Petra is. Petra is in Jordan, not Egypt.
I saw the film today and they do go to Jordan and it looks like the same location as they used for the temple in Last Crusade.
Anyway, I enjoyed the film, even though the story is as similarly flimsy as the first one.
The effects and set pieces are fantastic.
I thought that they could have trimmed maybe 20 minutes from it as some of the battle scenes go on a bit too long.
Shia is very good at playing this type of role, I suppose the test for him will be as he matures and what acting roles he takes.
I liked the addition of the old Decepticon, yet I didnt grasp how they went to Egypt, maybe I missed the explantion to this. This is also the point where they work in Shias hand injury in to the movie. Although I'm not sure where the medical kit appeared from that they used.
..............and Megan Fox is unbelievably gorgeous throughout this film.
