🗺️ Stops on this tour
Everything about each village and destination visited: history, highlights, practical tips.
Ksar Ghilane: the oasis and its hot spring at the gates of the Grand Erg
A palm grove set on the edge of an ocean of dunes, a pool of hot water where you swim in the middle of the sand, a forgotten Roman fort on a hillock: Ksar Ghilane is the first real encounter with the Sahara from Djerba.
Tataouine: the capital of the ksour, between the Dahar and the Sahara
The town of Tataouine lent its name to Luke Skywalker's planet, but its real treasure lies around it: dozens of ksour, the fortified Berber granaries, and the hilltop villages of Chenini, Douiret and Guermessa.
Chenini: the hilltop Berber village and the Seven Sleepers mosque
Clinging to a limestone ridge more than 600 metres above sea level, Chenini is the most beautiful Berber village in southern Tunisia: houses carved into the rock, terraced granaries, a white mosque and a thousand-year-old legend.
Ksar Hadada: the Mos Espa slave quarter, a ksar turned film set
In this ksar converted into a hotel, George Lucas filmed the alleys of Mos Espa's slave quarter in 1997, where Anakin and his mother live. The ghorfas remain, and the place draws fans from all over the world.
