What's left behind the scenes
- Penélope Cruz was invited for the lead female role, although Cassler insisted on Salma Hayek.
- The film was directed by Breck Eisner, the son of former Disney studio head Michael Eisner.
- Three and a half months of filming took place in Morocco, one month in Spain, and five weeks in London.
- The actors underwent training in camel riding, and had to gallop alongside a moving train for an hour and a half.
- While promoting the film, Matthew McConaughey traveled across America in his trailer, which was decorated with the 'Sahara' logo. During the trip, the actor lived at special campsites and visited stadiums.
- A British factory, where engines for the 'Concorde' aircraft were tested, 'played' the role of a toxic waste processing plant.
- Long before filming began, McConaughey traveled alone through Mali. His experience and the photographs he took proved useful during the shooting process.
- Jefferson Davis did not consider the loss of Richmond the end of the Confederacy. Had the ship actually managed to escape with a cargo of gold on board, it would have been sent to another Confederate port, or even to Mexico, where their ally Maximilian I was in power at the time.
- When Dirk Pitt explains the story of the five gold dollars of the Confederacy, he says that Jefferson Davis ordered them to be minted in 1865 and gave four to his best generals: Robert E. Lee, “Stonewall” Jackson, “Jeb” Stuart, and Joseph Johnston (Pitt misspoke and called him Johnson). Jackson and Stuart died before 1865, so they could not have received these coins that year.
- The film is based on Clive Cussler's novel "Sahara" (1992).
- While promoting this film, Matthew McConaughey traveled across America in his trailer, which was decorated with the "Sahara" logo. During the trip, the actor lived in special parking areas and visited stadiums.
- Long before filming began, McConaughey traveled to Mali alone. His experience and the photographs he took proved useful during the shooting process.
- Filming took place from November 3, 2003, to April 2004.
