Actors that where in the mummy movies2/10/2023 While the exterior of the ‘Museum of Antiquities in Cairo’ is in Marrakech, its interior is that of Mentmore Towers in the village of Mentmore, Buckinghamshire. The locations are not all quite so exotic, though. The same place became the villain's desert hideout in Bond movie Spectre. ‘Cairo’ of 1925 is Marrakech, and the lost city of ‘Hamunaptra’ was a vast set built at an old fort inside a dormant volcano crater about 12 miles southwest of Erfoud, in the southeast of the country. It’s set, naturally, in ‘Egypt’, but was filmed mainly in Morocco. The splurgy horror comedy revamp of the classic legend is a little too knee-deep in CGI effects, but went on to be enormously successful, spawning sequels and spin-offs.
