Zero Dark Thirty locations


I just watched ‘Zero Dark Thirty’ and thought it was very good.  Weird to realize how many of the settings I’ve been to.

Gdansk - no

London, Washington – yes, obviously (but not Langley)

Kuwait - no

AFGHANISTAN
Baghram air base – yes (main gate, not inside)
Jalalabad air base – yes
Camp Chapman – no

PAKISTAN
Peshawar – yes
Islamabad – yes (including inside the Marriott hotel and the US embassy)
Lahore – yes (the tuk tuks are the wrong colour – the scenes were shot in India)
Abottabad – YES
