About this activity

A few dozen kilometers from Tozeur and Nefta are Chebika, Tamerza, and Midès, oases in a landscape of mountains that is one of the most moving sites in southern Tunisia. In this breathtakingly beautiful landscape, every oasis is different. In Chebika, a wadi runs down the side of a steep mountain, forming waterfalls and rivulets where frogs have made their home. The old village of Tamerza abandoned like a ghost village, looks out at a spectacular mountainous landscape; its lush oasis is fed by a towering waterfall. Last but not least, Midès, tucked away into a dizzyingly high canyon, boasts spectacular views.

you’ll get to explore the real-life filming locations of your favorite intergalactic epic. Travel between sights in a private, air-conditioned 4WD vehicle, getting a close-up to peek at Luke Skywalker’s house, the streets of Mos Espa, and the Yardangs, plus many more.

You may encounter vendors, especially around Mos Espa, offering various items like souvenirs, pictures with Fennec fox. Be cautious, as some of these vendors can be persistent then demand payment. It is best to give a polite but firm “no thank you” and hand the item back – or leave it on the ground and walk away to be clear that you are not going to engage.
