Egypt

While best known for The Pyramids, as the homeland of Pharaoh Tutankhamun, and as the land the Jewish people escaped from in the Bible, Egypt is far more then that and has a deep history some of which (sadly) has been lost to time.
It has also been a popular land for movie makers though nearly all films are either retailing of the Bible story, "historical" fiction, or totally fictional events.
