Cultural attractions in Tunisia
| Douz | |
|---|---|
The oasis town of Douz is known as a gateway to the Sahara Desert and is the location of the Festival of the Sahara. The souks, camel market and the Sahara Museum in town are worth a visit but the main attraction here is to take a camel trek into the rolling sand dunes of the desert, watch the sunset and camp under the desert stars in a Bedouin tent. | |
| Matmata Troglodyte Dwellings | |
|---|---|
 Matmata is a Berber village famous for its troglodyte underground dwellings. Their homes have been carved out of the sandstone around a circular sunken courtyard, protecting the inhabitants from the harsh climate by providing an environment with a relatively constant temperature. The village was first noted by the Roman historian Herodotus in the 4th century BC and is most famous today for being the setting for Luke Skywalker's home in 'Star Wars'. | |
