Star Wars and Gladiator

I just arrived in Cairo and once the sun goes down here things get really chaotic. But I will leave that for my next post.

My last few days in Tunisia were spent down south before returning to Tunis. Despite a lot of travel time, I accomplished my goals of seeing part of the Tunisia desert, where I visited a town used for a location in the original Star Wars, and one of the arenas used to film the movie Gladiator.

One thing about Tunisia that first caught my attention as I was researching this trip was how many sites in the country had been used as locations during the filming of the Star Wars movies. While the heat and difficulty in getting to all the sites without a car limited me, I was still determined to see at least one Star Wars location.
