ranked the North African country, Tunisia was really like not of this world, the nation dune riddled provided the setting for the fictional planet Tatooine, Luke Skywalker's home planet desert, which played an important role in many of the Star Wars movies .
Tunisia dusty and sparsely populated country, where geography is the ideal place to build Tatooine Dune Sea, vast deserts and rocks, and fans of Star Wars books and movies continue to makePilgrimage to Tunisia to visit this fascinating. Today, perhaps the locals are a bit 'friendlier than the imaginary Jawa, Pygmies as street cleaners of the art, or the hostile Sand People (also known as Tuscan Raiders known), which Luke has a hard time with the film "before" Star Wars - A New Hope.
Lukas skywake home was shot with a living area of the cave dwellings of Matmata real city. Here the residents make their homes by digging into the soft sandstoneand visitors may still have some of the murals and set dressing of the Skywalker farm from film to Sidi Driss Hotel in Matmata.
The exterior of the house, where Luke watching the two suns, is part of a dry, white salt lake Chott el Jerid says that extends through the central Tunisia in the oases of Tozeur and Nefta. Ocean Dunes - the width of the sand in the C3PO and R2D2 is wandering aimlessly known as La Grande Dunes, and depression as it applies theJawa is located east of Tozeur Chott el Jerid on.
The port city of Mos Eisley space, created by Obi-Wan Kenobi described as a "nest of miserable scum and evil," and is attached to a for intergalactic smugglers and other criminals from the area, in fact Aijim - a fishing town sponges near the Ile de Djerba. And see if you will, where he was at home at a distance Jedi Obi-Wan, you will find in the north Aijim overlooking the Gulf of Gabes.
If you cango with Han Solo and Chewbacca on the Millennium Falcon, you will probably have to find an alternative form of transport. Fortunately, although Tatooine was in a galaxy far, far away, not Tunisia, and Star Wars fans will be pleased to know that the country is surprisingly well served by the United Kingdom, there are many low cost flights http:// www [. xl.com / cheap-flights] in Tunisia for UK airports.
Other destinations that are part of the pilgrimage of Star Wars are: Tikalin Guatemala, which played the Massassi Outpost - the rebel base on the fourth moon of Yavin, the Royal Palace, near Naples, the palace at Theed Naboo from Phantom Menace and the province of Krabi, Thailand to set up Kashyyyk - the Wookie home world.
So pack is the sword of light, don your mask and Darth Vader use force to follow the pilgrimage of Star Wars around the world.
