Lost Episode #23 – Southern Tunisia
After very little sleep from the previous night, we drove to some old granaries that were filmed as homes in Tataouine in Star Wars. First stop was Ksars of Medenine (ksar is a fortified, earthen village), then on to the actually town of Tatouine, Tunisia! It’s not just a planet in Star Wars, it’s an actual town! 🤯 Pretty cool.
Ok, after driving through Tatouine, we stopped for a few photos at Ksar Ouled Soltane (which looked really cool), then on to Ksar Hadada – where they had a couple of vendors, a hotel, and some friendly people.
Once done, we drove back north to the coastal city of Sousse, we were stayed at the beautiful Hotel Sentido Bellevue Park (a 4-star resort at the time that only cost us $58.39, but that is now rated a 5-star resort and goes for over $200/night). The staff here were fantastic, so friendly and amazing. We felt pampered and treated like we were on a cruise – fantastic service.
