Matmata

The Hotel Sidi Driss, where scenes from the Lars homestead in Star Wars were filmed. Accommodation is simple the bedrooms are formed from individual caves hollowed out from the rock, with shared bathroom facilities, but unique; visit for a day trip or spend the night see below.

Ask your hotel if they can arrange a tour of a traditional troglodyte cave dwelling; many such properties are located around the village and are today still inhabited by local families.

There is a small museum behind the Hotel Sidi Driss, displaying local history.

The stone village of Tamezret, 10km west of town on the Douz road makes an interesting side trip.
