Oh oui, voyageur galactique, il existe une terre où des villes légendaires s'elèvent du sable, d'où les gnomes sont partis, laissant derrière leur tanières, où les navettes aérodynamiques flottent quelques millimètres au-dessus de la surface, libérées des fardeaux gravitationnels. Les oasis et les plages entourés de palmiers verts promettent des plaisirs extraterrestres. Cette terre s'appelle la Tunisie.

Les épisodes I, II et IV de La guerre des étoiles ont été filmés entre, et inspirés par, les paysages extraordinaires, l'architecture exotique, et le mystère pénétrant de cette terre. Et bien sûr, nous profiterons de notre voyage pour y explorer dans le même esprit que La guerre des étoiles. Nous visiterons le légendaire Kairouan, les vallées et les chutes d'eau dissimulées dans les coins secrets du désert, et traverserons de grandes dunes. Notre aventure culminera avec une exploration approfondi de Oung Jemel, la véritable planète désertique de Tatooine.

Joignez-nous pour une combinaison de fantaisie, de plaisir, et d'éclaircissement pendant six jours et cinq nuits dans la Tunisie de La guerre des étoiles!
