Sleeping with Luke Skywalker: Top places to stay in Tunisia

 

Sidi Driss Hotel, Matmata

The Sidi Driss hotel in Matamata is built out of 5 pit dwellings, an earthy silent tomb, it’s a tourists landmark and only costs only 15 dinars a night ($10).

The underground labyrinth of vaults and passageways was used as Luke Skywalker’s home for the first Stars Wars film and attracts a flurry of visitors. These “troglodytes” underground homes are traditional cave dwellings built 20 feet underground to protect you from the overpowering heat.

Niches carved into the walls serve as storage, and stone mill fitting are used for preparing couscous in an otherwise bare but clean dwelling.

From $10 per night, reservations recommended.
