Star Wars of Tunisia


Outer territory, Arkanis sector. Distance from the galaxy center - 43 thousand light years. Tatooine desert planet revolving around its double star and being a shelter for smugglers and gangsters of all types. Hundreds of years Tatooine has been a place for orbital showdowns of various gangs, that's why the surface of the planet literally heaped up with remains of ancient spaceships, buried under the desert sand.
Fans of 'Star Wars' do understand what we are talking about. About the native land of Enakin Skywalker.
On the other hand, Tatooine is a small town in the south of Tunisia. Some episodes of Star Wars were shot right there.
The decorations of George Lucas were built in the sand hills not far from the Algerian border. The dry climate preserved them, practically untouched through 35 years...

The secret construction built by Lucas and never shown in the film.
