Trip to mountain oases, Ong Jmel § Mos Espa – 1 day from 88 €

Discover the mountain oases and the filming locations of Star Wars, near Tozeur!

From Tozeur and its mountain oases bordering Jebel En-Negueb …

Departure from your hotel in 4×4 towards the Jebel En-Negueb, along which the mountain oases have developed. Through arid and semi-desert landscapes, we arrive at the oasis of Chebika, whose sources that spring from the rock are channeled to irrigate the palmgrove. Further north-west, we discover the less visited mountain oases: Midès and deep canyons carved by water erosion. From there, the winding road descends through the Jebel, to reach Tamerza known for its waterfalls fed by wadis flowing from Algeria.
After this visit, return for lunch at a restaurant in Tozeur.

 

…to the Chott el Gharsa, and Star Wars’ galaxy.

Early in the afternoon we take the trail through the saline depression of chott El Gharsa. The site of Ong Jmel is named after a boulder carved by erosion that seems as a camel’s neck (Ong Jmel in Arabic). The place was used for the making of the film “The English Patient” directed by Anthony Minghella. In these desert landscapes were also shot several scenes from Star Wars. George Lucas implanted, on the edge of dunes not far from there, Mos Espa, the famous city on the planet Tatooine, where lived Anakin Skywalker and his friends in their childhood.
By late afternoon, the 4×4 bring you back to your hotel.
