Tunisia|The filming location of the movie 'Star Wars'

|The filming location of the movie 'Star Wars'.🎭 The filming location of 'Star Wars' & the traditional dwellings of the Berber people 🌍 The once globally popular sci-fi movie series 'Star Wars', which from 1977 to 2005, captivated the hearts of tens of thousands of fans. In the Matmata region of southern Tunisia, the filming location of 'Star Wars' is hidden. Hollywood director George Lucas, from the first time he set foot on the magical Sahara Desert of North Africa, came here for every film in the series to shoot some important scenes about alien planets. 🏠 This place has a history of thousands of years as a primitive human dwelling, its architecture is rich with a natural primitive beauty, and it was also the residence of the Berbers (Berbers). Some local Berber residents still live in traditional underground dwellings. The houses in the series were made from local materials, using yellow sand mixed with binding materials to build a series of uniquely shaped houses. The man-made, flat-bottomed, dome-topped houses perfectly constructed the village scenes needed for 'Star Wars'. 👽 Today, the tourism industry here, due to the popularity of Star Wars, has countless fans vying to come and see its true face. The somewhat dilapidated and desolate buildings, with their unadorned exteriors, are uniquely beautiful. At the site, not only can you view the photos from the series, take pictures in the scenes, but you can also sit down for a cup of coffee, stay in a cave B&B, and immerse yourself in the wonder of the filming location. Ps: Buddies also bought cool costumes from the local market in advance, the traditional Berber cloaks, which look super cool and stylish when worn on-site for photos. 🛖 Not far from the Star Wars site, you can also visit the Berber cave dwellings. Walking through the low doors into the courtyard, the simple caves are the homes of the Berbers, a bit like the cave dwellings of Shaanbei but even smaller, with a primitive atmosphere that hits you in the face. 👵 Inside the cave, there are bedrooms, workshops, kitchens, living rooms, and rooms for storing food and other miscellaneous items. Now, as the traditional folk museum of the local Berbers, it is open to the public. Enjoying a delightful afternoon tea with buddies, drinking tea made by Berber grandmothers with fragrant honey and mint leaves.

I arrived at a magical destination while traveling in Tunisia.

When the off-road vehicle turns over one sand dune again! After the person who was shaken in the car turned up and felt particularly energetic, our team stopped on a large sand dune, and the shooting of the Star Wars was in front of us! House Mjiamai! finally reached! Here is the pilgrimage site for the global Star Wars fans! George Lucas's "Star Wars Prequel" has now become a hot spot. In the desert of the desert, when you see the "extraordinary castle" in the shape of a circular arc in the white sand, there will be a sense of time and space. Put on a wizard's cloak or robes here, you can really cross the movie scene in the ruins. Of course, if you wear the sunglasses and masks with the perfect force, like Kidd, then There is a sense of scene~
