Seeing the set used to represent Luke Skywalker’s humble abode should be on the bucket list of every hard-core Star Wars fan. Our friends over at Tunisia Tours offer to help interested parties get there.
As a Star Wars enthusiast, have you ever considered walking in the same steps where characters like Luke Skywalker or Obi-Wan Kenobi walked? Tunisia is a small country, nestled in the heart of North Africa, yet hosts some spectacular sites from the vast desert to the stunning canyons! In fact, Tatouine itself is located in Tunisia!
Tunisia hosts Lars homestead (did you know the top of the home is in one location and the downstairs is in another location?)…Ben’s hermitage…Toshi Station…Anakin Skywalker’s home…the Mos Espa set…the Juntland Wastes…and more…
Consider taking a walk through Tunisia and connecting Star Wars sites with their actual locations, while at the same time experiencing rich culture among the cities of Tunisia…Matmata, Djerba, Tozeur, Tatouine, and Sidi Bouhlel, just to name a few.
We are Tunisia Tours (http://www.tunisiatours.org/star-wars/) and have Americans living and working on the ground in Tunisia who could help you fulfill that childhood dream of yours of walking in the steps of Luke Skywalker himself!

Len Cline has been a fan of Star Wars since he saw a pirated “A New Hope” with a TV dinner when he was around 3 (He only remembers the Tantive 4 battle), he was in his “Primary Star Wars Introduction Age” (PSWIA for short) (aka. 7 years) when “Revenge of the Sith” came out. Len fell out of the active Star Wars fandom for a few years and explored the majority of science fiction eras (except for the 90’s , which is a big deal (Except for Star Trek) until he was brought back through the Star Wars podcasting community. Len loves to read science fiction (Asimov being his favourite writer) and also enjoys the classics (Dostoyevsky anyone?). He loves all things philosophy (Cogito ergo sum!), politics (De Toqueville and Machiavelli!), and poetry (Mathew Arnold and T.S. Eliot for the win!). He is also an anglophile. Len’s worldview is colored by many things in his life: He’s a devout Catholic and holds his beliefs high, as well as believing that morality and personal responsibility are paramount. Len hopes to move to Europe to attend college for philosophy and/or other social sciences. He then aims to put his studies to good use for the world (hopefully just like Luke Skywalker!).
