Lars homestead, Film set and tourist attraction in Tozeur Governorate, Tunisia
The Lars homestead features a distinctive domed entrance leading to an underground dwelling structure situated within the desert landscape of southern Tunisia.
Constructed in 1976 for Star Wars Episode IV, the set represents Luke Skywalker's childhood residence and underwent reconstruction in 2000 for Episode II.
The location demonstrates the integration of traditional Tunisian desert architecture with international film production, creating a cinematic heritage destination.
Reaching the site requires a guided tour or four-wheel drive vehicle, and visitors should bring sufficient water supplies due to the remote desert location.
While the entrance scenes were filmed at this location, the interior courtyard sequences were captured 160 miles away at Hotel Sidi Idris.
