Tunisia
Tunisia is a beautiful country that is full of history.
It is also where many scenes from the Star Wars movies were filmed. When I visited the country in 2007—thirty years after the first Star Wars movie—many of the filming locations had hardly changed.
Hear about my trip on the Amateur Traveler podcast, Episode 132: Travel to Tunisia.
