How did we find out?: We noticed some comments under the viral post that called it a 'film set' showing Moroccan actor Karim Doniazelle.
We looked for actor Karim Doniazelle's social media accounts and came across his Instagram page where he had posted the same video on 30 October.
Karim's Instagram bio read, 'Actor/Director, based in Morocco.'
