The Hotel That Was Luke Skywalker’s Tatooine Home On ‘Star Wars’





Located in Matmata, Tunisia, ‘Hotel Sidi Driss’ will be an interesting holiday destination for geeky fans of George Lucas’ Star Wars.



The hotel was actually used for filming in the sci-fi franchise’s Episode IV: A New Hope and Episode II: Attack of the Clones—and was featured as young Luke Skywalker’s childhood home on planet Tatooine.



According to travel website GoNOMAD, the subterranean place is carved into the cliffs and is “cool, gloomy and unearthly quiet”.



There’s not much to do around the area, and HiConsumption notes that it lacks “modern luxury amenities”—it would, however, make for an unusual experience.



A night’s stay at this simple and unelaborate underground hotel costs only US$10, with breakfast included.
