“Meknes was used for the scenes in Jerusalem and the stables of Ismail Ibn Sharif were similar to the Al-Aqsa Mosque, which Scorsese had hoped to use for the 1983 shoot.” Wikipedia
Recorded only at country level
Wikidata also records this film as shot in Morocco, without saying where. Those statements are true but unmappable (a pin in the middle of a country would claim something nobody wrote), so they are listed here instead of guessed at.
Filming locations that are mapped there: Morocco
Its Wikipedia article also names Italy as where this film was shot, without naming a place inside that could be pinned. That is prose rather than a Wikidata statement, and it is labelled here as such rather than guessed at.
