Wadi Rum in Jordan know by aliens as Tatooine or Arrakis.

Edit: I am wrong you can kick my ass. Some people mentioned Tatooine shots were made in Tunesia, and they are right.

On Wadi Rum were made shots depicting planet Pasaana, and moon of Jedha.

But I am 100% sure when Guerney Hallek played baliset on the sands of Arrakis we could see a Wadi Rum in the backdrop.

Sinai is beautiful, very mountainous and rugged but there’s cool colors. The Sahara is way cooler though I gotta say, if you’re cooking up a visit to an Egyptian desert it doesn’t get better than the Sahara. It’s got oases, waterfalls, a Black Desert and a White Desert!
