#As Seen On Screen : 30 Film Locations You Can Visit In Real Life

29. The English Patient
Although the screen adaptation of Michael Ondaatje’s Booker Prize winning novel is set in Egypt, it’s in Tunisia that the film was made. Modern day Cairo was too developed to be believable as the 1940s city, so the city of Tunis took its place. More remotely, Count Almasy’s desert camp can today be accessed on a four-wheel drive guided tour: it’s actually in the western Tunisian desert close to Nefta.
30. Everest
The world’s highest mountain is inhospitable enough to seasoned climbers, so what were the likes of filmmakers and actors to do with lack of oxygen and frostbitten toes? Recreate the 8, 848 meter peak in the Dolomites, in Italy, of course – not that these majestic mountains exactly laid down a red carpet for Hollywood: there were still temperatures of minus 20 and similarly harsh conditions to be grappled with. The Dolomites are a popular European ski destination if you like your mountains a little more forgiving, preferably with hot chocolate at the end of every run.
