| Biblical Productions
is always thriving for excellence and it is our goal to continuously
advance and expand our production services. Thus we are thrilled
to announce that we are now also offering Production Services
in Egypt in addition to our long standing Production Services
in Israel and the recently added Production Services in Jordan.
Egypt is not like any other country when it comes to filming
professional documentaries, features and commercials. Beautiful
but rugged, full of history but fighting economical difficulties,
Egypt has a reputation for being a challenging place to film in.
This is why at Biblical Productions we only work with the most
experienced and the most reliable fixers on the ground for our
Production Services in Egypt.
Egypt is best known for its ancient civilizations and monuments,
which draw in hundreds of thousands of visitors each year. The
Nile Delta was home to these ancient civilizations for about three
thousand years in a row. Sites like the Pyramid of Gizeh, the
Valley of the Kings, Luxor, the Egyptian Museum and the big Sphinx
are known worldwide and much admired. Our Production Services
in Egypt can arrange and secure these famous locations for your
international film crew, as well as other, smaller excavations,
street markets, the citadel, ship tours, desert landscapes and
much more.
Artifacts and ancient rock carvings in Egypt date back to as
early as 10th millennium BC. The period of the Great Pharaohs
lasted from 1550 to 1070 BC, when Hatshepsut, Thutmose III, Tutankhamun
and Ramsses II ruled the land. The history of Ancient Egypt began
about three thousand years ago, when the first Pharaoh united
the Upper and the Lower Kingdom. The historical achievements in
architecture, construction work, astrology and surveying techniques
are worldwide recognized to be unique for the time back then,
and even now.
The rule of the Pharaohs ended about 31 BC when the Romans conquered
Egypt and made it a province. Their architecture, culture and
religion influenced the region much in the coming years and Christianity
began to spread in the first century AD. Our Production Services
in Egypt can take you to the beautiful Sinai Peninsula that is
home to biblical locations like Mount Sinai and St. Katharine’s
Monastery. Sinai offers you the opportunity to shoot biblical
recreations in an amazing desert landscape, or go for fantastic
diving trips in the Red Sea to explore the underwater life along
the coastline.
One of the main issues that clients wonder about when filming
in Egypt is health & safety. Generally speaking, Egypt is
a safe place for filming, but our local fixer will take extra
precautions and arrange for police escorts when filming in public
places. Health & safety issues are very important for the
international team of Biblical Productions and we can give all
our clients thorough advice for Egypt, Jordan and Israel. One
of the strongest recommendations is for example to stay away from
tap water and to rely on drinking bottled water only, and further
to avoid fresh local fruits and salads. 5 star hotels are generally
recommended to ensure a comfortable production.
Here is a selection of what we at Biblical Productions offer

that arise during a shoot and we know how much time to allocate
for securing the right permits. Generally, we advise our clients
to allocate more time for pre-production than usual, as permits

short notice.
