The area, thrilling to see
at the best of times, is enjoying something of a revival due to the
recent Star Wars prequel, and there is no better time to visit than
during this celebration of local folklore. Witness some fine music
and dance, and follow the natives' lead by sleeping in underground
rooms away from the heat. A good time is guaranteed, though
light-sabres and X-wing fighters may not be in evidence.

If the scenery around these
parts looks familiar to you, you'd be right. George Lucas' Star Wars
were not filmed a long time ago in a galaxy far far away, but in the
Seventies, and in the strange lunar landscape of the Tunisian desert.The ghortas (grain stones)
created by weathering resemble huge mushrooms, and the inhabitants
carve their dwellings out of the sandy rock.
