🗺️ Itinerary

In the Footsteps of the Force

Our team will pick you up from your accommodation in Djerba for an exceptional day tracing the footsteps of George Lucas and the making of Star Wars.

Morning – Ajim & Tosche Station
Begin your adventure heading toward Ajim. Your guide will introduce you to the detailed program and explain Djerba’s crucial role in the 1976 filming history. In Ajim, discover the remains of the legendary Tosche Station, the setting of the famous deleted scenes featuring Luke Skywalker. Though these scenes never made it into the final cut, this location has become an iconic pilgrimage site for fans worldwide. Enjoy a photo stop and exclusive behind‑the‑scenes anecdotes from your guide.

Late morning – Sidi Jemour Mosque (Ben Kenobi’s Home)
Continue to the Sidi Jemour Mosque, which George Lucas transformed into Obi‑wan Kenobi’s desert home on Tatooine. Here, relive the unforgettable moment when Luke meets his future Jedi Master, one of the most emotionally charged scenes in the entire saga.

Around noon – Return to Ajim (Gateway to Mos Eisley)
Explore the neighborhood that became the gateway to the famous intergalactic city of Mos Eisley. This is where Han Solo and Chewbacca meet Luke and Ben Kenobi before boarding the Millennium Falcon to confront the Death Star. You will be amazed at how effortlessly the local Djerban architecture blends into the Star Wars universe.

Early afternoon – Boumesswer Mosque (scouted location)
Discover a site carefully scouted by the film crew but ultimately unused in the movie. With its whitewashed, minimalist lines, this mosque perfectly embodies the raw architectural spirit of Star Wars.

Afternoon – Loutàa underground mosque
End your immersion with this exceptional and little‑known site. Its troglodyte architecture, carved into the earth, strongly recalls the underground dwellings of Tatooine. A true journey into George Lucas’s imagination, as well as into the authentic local culture of Djerba.
