Star War was filmed in Tunisia.
For the home planet of Luke Skywalker (Mark Hamill), the desert planet of ‘Tatooine’, Lucas chose the landscapes and native architecture of Tunisia (Tataouine is a real Tunisian town, some miles
south of the movie location).

Luke’s sunken home was in the town of Matmata, where
homes are burrowed into the soft local sandstone from
the sides of circular pits. The interior is one of the inner
courtyards of the Sidi Driss Hotel, where you can still
see the murals and some of the set dressing from the
movie.

Raiders of the Lost Ark was set in Egypt — all the archaeological digging
scenes and those nasty bits with the snakes in particular. Its commonly
thought that these scenes where shot in Cario, near the Pyramids. However
director Steven Spielberg actually shot them here in Tozeur and the city of
Kairouan, not far from many of the Star Wars locations

Television antennas. All the houses in Kairouan (doubling for Cairo) had TV antennas on the roofs. To get an overhead shot of the city, they had to get the locals to take down their TV antennas, because the movie takes place before TV was invented.
