Locations in Egypt

Set in Egypt, not filmed there

6 more places in Egypt appear on this atlas because a game, an anime or a manga is SET there. Nothing was filmed at them: a drawn or rendered work is filmed nowhere, and some of these places are invented and pinned on what Wikidata says they are based on.

Also shot in Egypt, without a precise location

Wikidata records 19 more productions as shot in Egypt while naming only the country or the state: true, and too coarse to pin, so they are named here rather than dropped or guessed at.

Also named as shot in Egypt by their Wikipedia articles

8 productions name Egypt in their Wikipedia articles as where they were shot, without a place inside it, so they are listed here rather than pinned or dropped.
