The most easily visible and certainly the most attractive site is the recreation of buildings in the middle of the desert, creating an entire district of Mos Espa. The sets were created by Lucasfilm for the filming of Episode I, in July 1997 (including the strolls of Qui-Gon and his gang in the streets and market of Mos Espa), and reused for Episode II ( Ani's visit to Watoo). And at the request of the Tunisian tourist office, they were left as is in the state, for a tourist purpose.

  • A wonderful and exciting three-day trip

    Overall, the trip was great. However, we skipped Bassins Aghlabited and Mosque Sidi Sahbi on the first day! On the third day, fearing we'd be skipped as well, I asked the guide beforehand and was able to visit them.

    All I have go to say is wow! Incredible. One of the best trips I have ever taken. I was given Nasir as a guide and he was friendly and knowledgeable and thorough. The places we visited were breathtaking. Don't hesitate to book with these guys.

  • Great Star Wars/Cultural tour of Tunisia

    Had a wonderful experience with Depart Travel Services. Notified them a week prior to our trip that we wanted to focus on seeing Star Wars film sites. They adjusted our tour and gave us Chokri as a guide. Chokri was a pleasure to be on the road with and did a great job of not only showing us Star Wars sites, but allowing us to see the beautiful culture and land of Tunisia. I highly recommend using this agency for your trip. The only thing I would have changed is that I would have flown into Tozeur or Djerba instead of Tunis in order to eliminate some of the driving if you desire the Star Wars themed sites.

  • Great for “Star Wars” fans and nonfans alike

    Kevin K,

    We loved this tour. We went as a couple; one of us was much more into “Star Wars” than the other, but both of us found plenty to like. You see a lot in five days! Our guide, Mohammed, was great and allowed us to customize the itinerary to what we were most interested in. He picked great restaurants as well; it was our first time in Tunisia, and we loved the food. We also liked that the tour provided WiFi hotspot access. We visited in early March and found the temperatures to be fine (even in the tent!). Lots of sun! One recommendation for “Star Wars” fans would be to watch the movies ahead of time and have an idea of the kinds of pictures you might want — there’s a lot to see and it goes by fast. In any case, we’d recommend this both for “Star Wars” fans and those who just want to see Tunisia!
