Rope-bridge Climax, Kandy, Sri Lanka
You can live the climatic finale of the Temple of Doom movie right here in the Sri Lankan culture capital. Stay a while and combine it to a trip to Sigiriya Rock, an ancient citadel on top of a 370m rock plateau which some refer to as the eighth wonder of the world…
Sidi Bouhlel Canyon, Tozeur, Tunisia
You’re forgiven for believing that the Raiders’ Nazi face-melting scene took place in Egypt, but it was actually shot here in the Tunisian desert!
Awesome fact: Star Wars has also filmed here – do you feel the Force calling you yet?
Tuolumne River Rapids, Yosemite National Park, USA
Remember that nail-biter of a raft scene in Temple of Doom? Of course you do! Visit the set and relive the excitement on the Tuolumne River Rapids situated in California’s Yosemite National Park.
Al Khazneh, Petra, Jordan
Al Khazneh translates to ‘The Treasury’ – what a fitting place to film the Holy Grail search from The Last Crusade! Dating back to the first century AD, this huge, ornate sandstone temple may be a little less adrenaline-inducing than some of the other locations, but it will still take your breath away!
Hule’ia National Wildlife Refuge, Kauai, Hawaii
All of those iconic ‘Peruvian’ jungle treasure hunt scenes were actually shot on the Hawaiian island of Kauai! Hopefully your trip is exciting, but not nearly-crushed-to-death-by-a-rolling-boulder exciting!
Monsul Beach, Andalucía, Spain
That memorable sequence in The Last Crusade where Mr Jones Senior (Sean Connery) downs an enemy plane that’s hot on their tails was all shot on Monsul Beach in Almería!
Tip: If you’re also into Game of Thrones, nearby Seville boasts the set for House Martell and the Water Gardens of Dorne…
