Description
Discover the Star Wars filming locations in Djerba on a day trip. Visit Ben Kenobi’s house, Tosche Station, and the Mos Eisley sets, and learn about the filming history of 1976.
Begin your adventure with a pickup from your location in Djerba. Head towards Ajim, where your guide will introduce you to the detailed program of the day and explain Djerba’s role in the filming history of 1976.
Discover the remains of Tosche Station, the site of the famous deleted scenes with Luke Skywalker. Even though they don’t appear in the final cut, this location has become a true symbol for fans around the world. Enjoy a photo stop and exclusive anecdotes from your guide.
Continue towards Sidi Jemour Mosque, transformed by George Lucas into Obi-Wan Kenobi’s home in the desert of Tatooine. Relive the iconic moment when Luke meets his future Jedi master, one of the saga’s most memorable scenes.
Return to Ajim to explore the neighborhood that became the gateway to the famous intergalactic city. This is where Han Solo and Chewbacca meet Luke and Ben Kenobi before boarding the Millennium Falcon to face the Death Star. Be amazed at how naturally the local architecture blends into the Star Wars universe.
Discover a site scouted by the film crew but ultimately not used in the movie. With its whitewashed, minimalist lines, this mosque perfectly embodies the architectural spirit of Star Wars.
End your immersion with this exceptional and little-known site, whose troglodyte architecture strongly recalls the underground dwellings of Tatooine. A true journey into George Lucas’s imagination, as well as into the local culture of Djerba.
