Must-visit in life: Tozeur → Star Wars filming location

Tozeur Tozeur (Latin: Thusuros, also known as Jarid). Oasis in central-western Tunisia. Located south of the Tunisian prairie region, it boasts beautiful scenery with many salt flats and palm groves. Situated on the isthmus between the al-Jarid and al-Gharsah salt flats, it is known as the "Gateway to the Desert." It was an important ancient Numidian town, located on the trade route from Vescra to Qabis. The area is famous for its mirages created by the shimmering mineral salts from the hot air and salt flats. Two high-quality varieties of dates produced in the region have been major export commodities since the 11th century. It also produces hand-woven carpets and silver jewelry. An international airport provides convenience for tourists. Locals consider the nearby Naftah to be a sacred oasis. A visit to Tozeur must include a look at the Star Wars filming location. It is one of the places that most resembles an alien planet. Luke Skywalker's home is still preserved in Tozeur, serving as the set for Mos Espa, and the scene has been largely kept intact. Tataouine Tataouine Province, Tunisia is a town in Tunisia that inspired George Lucas to name his fictional desert planet Tatooine. Star Wars: The Force Awakens (released in mainland China on January 9, 2016). This should be a pilgrimage site for every Star Wars fan. Deep in the Tunisian desert, the scenes from the first three Star Wars movies are still preserved. Any Star Wars fan would quickly recognize these surreal photos as the scenes of Tatooine, the place where the protagonist of this sci-fi blockbuster, Luke Skywalker, grew up.
