Anyone who has seen the first installment of Star Wars, episode 4, will remember that Luke and his parents lived in a hole in the ground in the middle of the desert. Well, that hole in the ground was not a movie set but an actual hotel in Tunisia.

It is so hot in the desert of Tunisia that the people who live there actually live underground. They literally carve out a house in the rocks beneath the sand. And, the market that Luke and family visited when they bought R2D2 and C3PO is an actual market in Tunisia.

Life is stranger than fiction.
