No doubt that part of the picture was filmed in Cairo and other places next to the river Nil, but a very small part. Some of the sandy parts look as if they are filmed on the Island of Sylt in the North See. The black girl looks painted in black, the white girl with the never ending legs is beautiful Marion Michael, who walks through Cairo with rolled up shorts. That was German sex in the late fifties shortly after world war II. Still nice to look at and quite entertaining, the crew must really have had some fun with the girl or the other way round. Former German star Adrian Hoven is less sexy, but okay to look at and not a too poor actor. Rick Bataglia on the other hand is in no way an Arabic looking slave merchant, Friedrich Joloff is pretty good as the villain, but there is no reasonable plot, not to mention the absence of a director who has little more in mind than showing Marions nice body. Even the editor is so extremely fascinated that he allows Marion to ride beyond the horizon until he closes the take.
The guy mentioned as scriptwriter, if one is brave enough to call it
a scenario, is famous Ernst von Salomon the author of a great post war book 'Der Fragebogen'; well he also had to make a living.
