Maybe it's another dead-end and maybe other people have checked it out, but I'm getting a good vibe about this spot in Cairo...

From touregypt:
Media Production City contains a number of open air shooting areas, as well as the Mubarak studio complex and its own dedicated theme park, Magic Land.

Still looking for images, but there's this bit of info too:
Magic Land (children's village), covers an area of 15,000 sq.m, within the Integrated Activity Area. A 230 m. long entrance gate (Egypt's Gate) was built showing models of most renowned tourist attractions and monuments of Egypt, such as Pharaonic temples, Bibliotica of Alexandria, Giza Pyramids, citadels and fortresses, Saladin's Citadel etc...

Still looking for an image match...

And here:
Cairo's Media Production City (MPC) is simply massive, extending over 35 million square yards of desert, near the famous Giza pyramids, a few miles southwest of Cairo. Producers will find outdoor stages with standing sets featuring just about everything a filmmaker might need: a 60,000 square-foot Islamic village, a Pharonic city...


SO WHERE ARE THE PICS???  :gaah:

Thanks for the link, Kogs -- checked out their images & don't see our temple. Guess TAR could have had their own set dressing that wouldn't be in the pics, but for now still no proof.  :groan:

 :-[  Well I did say it lookd like the "Peter the Great Statue", but didn't have a front on view to nail it.  Turns out our "golden boy" isn't so golden, as only the paper in his hand is gold leafed.  Oh yeah, there's that mustache too.  (:;)

Ok, looks like we still have some things left to spoil.  Ready, set, spoil!   :angel:

Reports of my retirement were greatly exaggerated.  ;)

ETA: Maybe the "statue" is really this guy. A task where they have to be painted gold and perform on the street? That would rock - I should be writing for this show.

My bf thinks the gold statue guy has something to do with the Navy or ships for some reason? I've seen him before but my brain isn't clicking .. he's so obvious we will be like Duh when we find him.
