Matmata is a small village in southern Tunisia renowned for its traditional troglodyte dwellings. These unique underground homes, dug into the soft sandstone, provide natural insulation from the harsh desert climate, keeping them cool in summer and warm in winter. The area gained international fame as a filming location for the original "Star Wars" movie, where it served as the iconic setting for Luke Skywalker's home on the planet Tatooine.
