The first act of "Prince of Persia: The Blade of Time" was filmed in the Atlas Mountains at 8,200 feet above sea level, surrounded by Popols. The crew members had to adapt themselves to the climate and conditions quickly in order to start their work. The sandstorm scene in the film was shot in Ouarzazate, Morocco. Many familiar films have come here, such as "Gladiator", "Lawrence of Arabia", "Cleopatra" and so on.

The temperature in Morocco is as high as 100 degrees Fahrenheit. The crew is stationed in Marrakech, and large air conditioners are installed in the tents to cool down.

On the last day of filming, the local temperature in Morocco soared to 124 degrees Fahrenheit, and everyone felt dizzy. During the filming of "Prince of Persia: The Blade of Time", the crew consumed a total of 1.11 million bottles of mineral water. Such warning signs can be seen in Morocco: Please do not approach and touch ostriches easily, and be careful of scorpions and snakes in the rocky sand.

The film used more than 1,850 staff members, including 800 local Moroccans and 500 post-production workers.

Wolf Kroger built the scenery next to the 700-year-old city wall, 30-meter-high brackets, 400 tons of cement, and the joint efforts of more than 350 craftsmen. The crew also spent about 7 weeks drawing murals to restore the scenes in the game. More than 7,000 different styles of clothing are used in the film, which blends India, Thailand, Italy, France, China and the United Kingdom, and of course the local characteristics of Morocco. It is not Princess Tamina who has changed the most in dress, but Nizam, the villain played by Ben Kingsley.

Dastan is the name of the prince of Persia in the movie. This word means "fairy tale" in Persian script. The organization named "Hassansins" that appeared in the film is obviously derived from the English word "assassin", because "Hassansins" is an Islamic assassin organization in the film, and has participated in a large number of terrorist and political assassinations.
