Tataouine

Tataouine is a city in Tunisia. The name of the town was immortalized in Star Wars as "Tatooine", but most of the filming was not done here, but at Matmata.

Get in
SRTM operates long-distance buses from Gabes.



Get around
Since public transport is limited, and most of the ksars are a few kilometers out of town, renting a car or hiring a taxi for the day may be the best choice to see the interesting spots around Tataouine.

Buy
Corne de gazelle (gazelle horn) is a local pastry found in the pastry shops (pâtisserie).

Sleep
Medenine is the next big city and has more accommodation options.
