Visiting Matmata, Tunisia


A small town in southern Tunisia, Matmata is best known for its underground cave or troglodyte structures, which house some of the local Berber population. Undoubtedly Matmata's most famous building is the Hotel Sidi Driss, which served as the Lars Homestead (and therefore the home of Luke Skywalker and his Uncle Owen and Aunt Beru Lars) in the Star Wars movies. The small museum behind the hotel made Wired.com's Top 10 list of the world's best geek vacation destinations.
