Tozeur: Private Star Wars Mos Espa Film Set Tour / Chebika, Mides, Tamerza

5.0 (2 verified reviews)

About This Experience

This is the itinerary that pairs the two things Tozeur is known for: the oases in the mountains behind it, and the film set out on the sand in front of it.

Chebika opens the day — a palm-lined oasis at the foot of the range, with pools and a stream. Midès follows, perched on the edge of a canyon, then Tamerza with its waterfall and its abandoned village.

The Mos Espa set at Ong Jmal was built for The Phantom Menace in 1997 and left standing. Going privately means reaching it outside the coach windows and staying as long as you want.

What Travelers Say

Rated 5.0/5 by 2 verified GetYourGuide travelers.

Our driver/live guide did more than his job. He made sure we had a day we'll never forget! It was worth the price. He gave us lots of information all day, each piece more interesting than the last, and even gave us tips for the rest of our trip to Tunisia.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is the Mos Espa set still standing?

Yes. The town set built at Ong Jmal for The Phantom Menace was never dismantled, and the buildings are still there in the open desert, weathered but recognisable.

How do you reach Ong Jmal?

By 4x4 across the sand from the Nefta side — the site is not on a sealed road, which is why it is always sold as part of a driven tour.

Is this tour private?

Yes, a private vehicle and driver for the day from a Tozeur hotel.

Is the Lars homestead dome on this route?

The white dome exterior stands on the edge of Chott el Jerid near Nefta. Ask the operator whether your date's routing includes it — it is close to the Ong Jmal track.
