Il diario di Matmata, Tamezret and Toujane

Seguire il sentiero che dà del tu al cielo.

In the Matmata Mountains, houses dug around open-air courtyards meet the constraints of the arid environment. The Sidi Driss hotel also testifies to the history of the shootings. The villages of Tamezret and Toujane extend the discovery to peak and slope habitats, with road movements between sites.

Presentazione generale

Matmata, Tamezret and Toujane

Ancient Matmata and Troglodytic Habitat, Hotel Sidi Driss, Matmata and Tamezret give the most telling landmarks of Matmata, Tamezret and Toujane. Together, they form a destination where you can meet heritage, mountain reliefs, desert areas and the countryside, with atmospheres that change over the course of the stages rather than just one uniform decor.

Vedi tutto

For a stay of 2 to 3 days, it is better to balance visits and travel times. Also to be anticipated: enhanced vigilance: editorial qualification of the perimeter chosen after France Diplomacy, consulted on 9 September 2026 and conditions of access to monuments and places of worship to be confirmed. A car is usually the easiest way to connect the different sectors. However, some sites require more walking, elevation or preparation.

The ancient Matmata is known for its houses organized around large courtyards dug in the ground. The rooms are excavated on their sides, sometimes connected to other courtyards; this architecture distinguishes the village from the new agglomeration.

This troglodytic home became a hotel and was used as an interior decoration at the Lars farm in Star Wars. It is located in the old Matmata; the outside views of the farm filmed elsewhere should not be attributed to it.
