Onk Jmel, Filming location in Tozeur Governorate, Tunisia.
The site features tall rock formations and expansive desert terrain, with a natural stone formation shaped like a camel's neck near Chott el Gharsa.
The location gained international recognition when George Lucas selected it as a primary filming site for the Star Wars franchise in the late twentieth century.
The area represents the fictional planet Tatooine in multiple Star Wars films, including scenes of Anakin Skywalker's home settlement of Mos Espa.
Visitors need to arrange transportation in a four-wheel drive vehicle to access the site, and morning visits are recommended due to intense desert temperatures.
Sand dunes move approximately fifteen meters annually, requiring preservation efforts to protect the remaining film sets from being covered by advancing sand.
