Since it appeared in the Star Wars movies, Matmata has become one of the most visited towns in Southern Tunisia. Tourists arrive in droves to see Matmata's famous troglodyte houses while Star Wars fans come to see Hotel Sidi Driss, which was used as the childhood home of Luke Skywalker in the movie.
For somewhere that is so well known, Matmata almost creeps up on you. And it takes a while to reveal itself, not least because most of the sites are immediately obscured in the underground homes. |
