The Lars Homestead is the white-domed exterior set used as the home of Luke Skywalker on the planet Tatooine in the original 1977 Star Wars film. It sits on the edge of the Chott el-Gharsa salt flat, about 15 km from Nefta. The interior scenes were filmed at the cave hotels of Matmata further south, but the iconic exterior — the dome poking up from the desert with twin suns setting behind it — is here.
Reaching the site requires a 4x4 or a guide, as the track turns off the road across the salt flats and is not signposted. Several agencies in Nefta and Tozeur offer half-day Star Wars tours that combine the homestead with the Mos Espa film set further north. Bring water and sun protection; there is no shade.
