Lars Homestead Exterior
منزل لارس
A solitary domed hut beside Chott el Djerid, serving as the above-ground entrance to the Lars homestead, the home of Luke Skywalker's uncle in Star Wars.
In 1976, the classic Star Wars shot of Luke standing in the doorway gazing at the twin sunset was filmed here. The set was damaged at one point and later restored by fans. The domed building sits in the wasteland between Nefta and the salt lake, about 20 minutes' drive from Nefta, and can be reached on foot from the roadside. All around stretches an endless salt plain, a must-visit for fans. The interior scenes were filmed at a cave hotel in Matmata, not here.
