Re: Trip to Tunisia
Remember the pics with the sunrise at Chott El Jerid salt lake? Or the Tozeur and Nefta oases? I visited all those 
http://www.movie-locations.com/movies/s/starwars.html
"The exterior of the homestead, where Luke contemplates the two suns, is part of the vast Chott el Jerid, the dry, white salt flat stretching across central Tunisia to the oases of Tozeur and Nefta. The site of Luke’s home, now a couple of filled-in circular pits, can be found a few miles south from Highway 3 on a turnoff just west of Nefta."
Also the English Patient's filming location was close toe the Star Wars one:
http://www.movie-locations.com/intromovies/engpatient.html
"The desert camp of Count Laszlo de Almásy (Ralph Fiennes) is in the Tunisian Sahara a few miles from the oasis of Nefta. The site is beneath the bizarre Onk Jemal, the Camel's Neck rock formation, not too far from the sets for Star Wars Episode I: The Phantom Menace. A guided desert safari, with a four-wheel drive vehicle is the most practical way to see the location."
My own picture of Onk Jemal the Camel's Neck rock - a few km from Mos Espa movie set

Re: Trip to Tunisia
Looks like you had a great holiday.
Loved the Star Wars location pics but some of the views and market shots were just as interesting as well, looks an amazing place to go on vacation.

Re: Trip to Tunisia
Tunisia is a great country you can see all forms of climate from desert in the south to palm and olive forests in the north. Really nice people too.
