Chott el Jerid

"Uh, I'm quite sure you'll be very pleased with that one, sir. He really is in first-class condition. I've worked with him before."

- C-3P0 Chott El Jerid is a dry salt lake in south Tunisia. On it was the exterior of Lars' homestead on Tatooine filmed. The interior was filmed in Sidi Driss Hotel, wich is located in a far away town called Matmata. The sets are still standing, but hard to get to. From Nefta, there is a few kilometers drive, and since it is a salt lake road, a four by four is extremely necessary.
