Mos Espa Star Wars Set
موس إسبا
The filming set of Mos Espa, Tatooine, from Star Wars: The Phantom Menace. Its domed mud-brick buildings still stand among the dunes.
In 1997, Lucasfilm built this outdoor town near Ong Jemal. Later, Attack of the Clones was also filmed here. Dozens of domed buildings, towers and moisture vaporators are well preserved, but the shifting dunes have long posed a threat. Vendors sell souvenirs on site. Entry is free, although drivers or guides may charge a fee. You need a four-wheel-drive vehicle to get there. It is often visited together with Ong Jemal, and half a day is enough to see both.
