Ksar Hadada
We go around the Ksar where the scenes of the STAR WARS saga were shot in 1997, supposed to take place in Mos Espa, in the slave quarters where Anakin Skywalker and his mother reside.
Ghomrassen
The Beni Ghedir valley is the perfect example of agricultural activity and territorial development in the arid climate of DAHAR. We visit a Ksar occupying the central hill was founded at the end of the 19th century and has 42 Ghorfas and a discreet citadel sat on the summit fulfilling the role of a control tower above dozens of troglodyte houses, and right next to the multiple Footprints of herbivorous and carnivorous dinosaurs have been discovered engraved on a limestone slab dating from the Middle Jurassic.
