Character error
At the end of the film, the grandson of the sheik pronounces the word sheik as "sheek". An Arab would almost certainly use the correct pronunciation of "shekh," as the correct spelling of the word is "Sheikh" due to the fact that "kh" is one letter in the Arabic alphabet and is pronounced as such.

Walter and his uncles are shown eating piles of sweetcorn harvested from their corn patch, but a later scene (Jasmine's burial) shows the corn still bearing tassels. Tassels emerge during pollination, and would have dried up long before the corn was ready to eat.

Incorrectly regarded as goofs
Hub refers to lions as living in the jungle. Even though this is technically incorrect as they live in the Savanna, not the jungle, it is an understandable error because lions are commonly referred to as the "King of the Jungle".
