Imagine a place where the sands of the desert have been touched by the magic of Hollywood stardust. You've found it with this two-day tour, which'll show you some of Tunisia's most famous film locations. You'll visit a Roman amphitheatre, explore underground cave houses, cross a vast salt lake and discover a secluded oasis at the fringes of the Sahara. Hamdi, one of our expert local guides, says, ‘Between Matmata and Douz, there are endless “ergs” – sand dunes – in the restless desert. This desert is not a dead entity, it's even cultivated in places by those who inhabit it. The sands come alive according to the seasons.'

Embark on your sandy adventure at El Jem Colosseum. This ancient Roman theatre would seat an audience of 35,000, entertained by gladiatorial fights and chariot races. You'll then head to Matmata, where you'll have lunch and visit the rock-cut cave homes that starred in two Star Wars films. Finish the day in the oasis town of Douz – surrounded with date palms – for an overnight stay. This is a great spot to take an optional camel or carriage ride in the desert.

After breakfast, you'll cross Chott el Djerid, a mirage-filled salt lake, before jumping into a 4x4 for a ride to Onk Jemal, where you'll discover the film set city built for Star Wars. After lunch in Gafsa, you'll round off the tour with a photo stop in Kairouan, a great place to take lots of Instagram-worthy pictures of the intricately decorated Islamic architecture that the town is known for.

Loved the tour. Great experiences and thought it was a good mix of travel and attractions. Fantastic memories made ????

The tour was fantastic and incredibly good value. The add on of the camel ride for a few extra pounds was incredible. The hotel for the overnight stay was very basic, but everything worked. The only complaint I would have was that at the hotel non of the food was labelled at either dinner or breakfast, meaning it was very difficult to tell what you were getting. As someone with dietary preferences, this was really not acceptable.

Excursion is excellent, only downside is the over night hotel is very basic, beds very hard when you need a good night sleep after the long day and the food was poor quality

This trip was a birthday present for me purely to visit Luke Skywalker's house as I'm such an avid Star Wars fan. Disappointingly, for some unknown reason we didn't stop there. Upon bringing up a complaint with a TUI rep we're still none the wiser

we did not get taken to 1 of the 5 highlights luke skywalkers house

The food and accommodation throughout this trip was really average or below - needs a re-think. Stopping at the side of the road on day 2 to see the sunset was not quite the romantic ‘see the sunrise over the salt lakes’ that you imagine. The camel and jeep safaris were excellent. The guide was informative generally though an hour at El Jem exploring with no guide (at what is a poorly-maintained historical attraction) was not great. Without information, suggest limiting this to 30 mins.
