Filming locations inside Luxor
1 place inside Luxor, with a page of its own. Every production shot at it is already listed above, because Wikidata records it against Luxor too.
Set here, per Wikipedia
Games whose English Wikipedia article says they are set in Luxor, where Wikidata’s narrative-location statement stops at the country. Still a setting and not a shoot, and still a sentence rather than a statement: two steps from the strongest evidence on this atlas, and labelled at both.
