In the morning, you will leave Djerba Island by taking a Roman causeway and traveling to Medenine. The ksar (ancient granary) here was used as one of the film locations of the Slave Quarters Row where Anakin and Shmi lived. Afterward, you will travel to Ksar Ouled Soltane, considered the best-preserved Ksar in southern Tunisia. You will then pass by the city of Tataouine, which you might recognize as the inspiration behind the name of the desert planet in Star Wars.
Continue to Ksar Hadada, another film location of the Slave Quarters Row. There is a scene inside Ksar Hadada where a balcony was used to film Shmi and Qui-Gon Jin talking about Anakin as he works on his Podracer. When you are ready, travel to Matmata for dinner and night.
