Ksar Hadada
قصر حدادة
A granary fortress converted into a guesthouse, with a maze of vaulted storerooms and courtyards. It was also a filming location for Star Wars: The Phantom Menace.
Ksar Hadada lies in the village of Hadada, about 30 km north of Tataouine. A set of linked vaulted granaries surrounds several courtyards, and some have been converted into simple guesthouses. In the late 1990s, Star Wars: Episode I - The Phantom Menace was filmed here for the Mos Espa slave quarters, and the site still draws Star Wars fans. Visitors can wander freely through the courtyards and stairways to see traditional granary construction. It pairs well with Ghomrassen to the north and Ksar Hallouf in the direction of Medenine. Entry is free, but please greet staff before entering the guesthouse areas.
