The underground homes of Matmata
Half a day
October to April
In Matmata the Amazigh dug their homes into the soft ground around round courtyards open to the sky, cool in summer and warm in winter. You visit a lived-in home and take tea with the family, then the Hotel Sidi Driss, which appeared in the first Star Wars film as the hero's home.
Good to know
- Combined with a drive between Djerba and Tozeur
- Visits are by the family's leave
- A small tip is customary
