How Much Does a Tunisia Star Wars Tour Cost?

Live 2026 prices for every Star Wars tour in Tunisia, from a short Mos Espa dune run out of Tozeur to two days from Tunis: what each price includes, what costs extra, and where paying more changes your day.

Updated October 2026

A full-day Star Wars tour from Djerba or Zarzis costs $54 to $66 per person with lunch included on most itineraries, which makes it the cheapest way to reach Hotel Sidi Driss and the Tataouine ksour. From Tozeur, a 2.5-hour dune run to the Mos Espa set starts at $48, and a full private 4x4 day through the mountain oases is about $123 per person. From Tunis, nothing short of two days works, and those trips run from $656 to $718 per person.

What the prices mean

  • A good all-round choice: the Full-Day Star Wars Jeep Safari: Ksar Ghilane & Matmata from Djerba, from $66 per person, with lunch and Hotel Sidi Driss entry included.
  • Your base sets the price more than the tour does. Djerba day trips are mostly shared and usually include lunch; many Tozeur day trips are private, and the best-reviewed ones leave lunch out.
  • Several Djerba tours share one price. At $54 and again at $66 you choose on what is included and how long the review record is.
  • Drinks, camel rides and quad bikes are extra on almost every tour. Lunch is extra on the main Tozeur trips.
  • Everything is priced per person except one private Djerba day, which costs $246 for up to two people. Two people on the jeep safari pay $132 at the starting price, and four pay $264.
  • A night in the desert from Djerba costs less than a private day trip. The two-day camp trip starts at $124, below the private Tataouine days at $144 and up.

What does a tour cost from each base?

The filming locations sit in two clusters about five hours of driving apart, so the tours start where the hotels are. Djerba and Zarzis cover Matmata, Ksar Ghilane and the Tataouine ksour. Tozeur and Nefta cover Mos Espa, Ong Jmal and the mountain oases. Tunis is too far from either for a day trip.

From Djerba or Zarzis: $54 to $66 for a shared full day. You are collected from your hotel early, ride in a 4x4 with a driver-guide, and are back in the evening. The jeep safari above is the one we’d compare first: Ksar Ghilane’s hot spring and dunes, a Berber cave house and the Sidi Driss courtyard where the Lars homestead was filmed. It has more than 800 reviews at 4.6/5, by far the longest record of any Star Wars tour in Tunisia, and its listing names both lunch and the Sidi Driss entry, which several tours at the same price leave unmentioned. Our jeep safari guide covers the seating and the paid extras.

If the ksour are what you came for, the Tataouine, Chenini and Ksar Hadada day tour costs $54, includes lunch and the Ksar Hadada entry, and is rated 4.6/5 from more than 300 reviews. It does not go to Matmata. Our breakdown of that tour has the full itinerary.

From Tozeur or Nefta: $48 for the short run, about $123 for the full day. The Chebika, Mides and Mos Espa private 4x4 day is rated 5.0/5 from more than 90 reviews, the best record out of Tozeur, and you have the vehicle and the pace to yourselves. Food is not included apart from water, so budget for lunch. The price is per person, so two people pay $246 at the starting price.

The dunes and Mos Espa 4WD run costs $48 and is the cheapest way onto the set. It includes the 4WD and the driver and nothing else, and its listing now gives 2.5 hours. Two guests wrote that the trip, when it was billed at four hours, ran closer to two, so agree the finishing time at pickup. It is rated 4.4/5 from 14 reviews.

From Tunis: $656 to $718 for two days. The two-day private trip from Tunis costs $718 per person and takes in El Jem, Matmata and Sidi Driss, the Tozeur oases and Mos Espa, with a night in a tented camp. Lunch is not included, and it has only 3 reviews so far (4.5/5). Both Djerba and Tozeur have airports, so if you can get yourself there first, a day trip costs a fraction of this. Our Tunis page compares the options.

Day trips and overnights from Djerba, Zarzis, Tozeur and Nefta to Matmata, Tataouine, Ksar Ghilane and the Sahara, with live prices.

What you get as you spend more

Mostly a vehicle to yourselves, or a longer trip with a night in the desert. The filming locations change much less than the price does.

Around $48 to $66: shared day trips. A seat in a shared 4x4 from Djerba or Zarzis with a guide and, on most itineraries, lunch, or the short dune run from Tozeur. The $54 Tataouine tours and the $66 Ksar Ghilane tours sit here.

Around $79 to $250: private and smaller-group days. Out of Tozeur, this buys a private 4x4 and a village guide at Chebika, usually without lunch. Out of Djerba it buys a car to yourselves or more entry fees covered, as on the private Tataouine and Chenini day with lunch at $144 (4.7/5 from 10 reviews). One Tozeur listing, at $179, has you drive a Suzuki Jimny 4x4 yourself behind a guide.

From $124: nights away. The two-day desert camp trip from Djerba costs $124 and adds a camel trek, dinner, a night in a Saharan bivouac and breakfast to Matmata, Tataouine and Chenini. It has 7 reviews at 4.4/5, a short record for a trip that long. Three-day circuits that reach both clusters run from $335, and the trips from Tunis sit above $650.

Every Star Wars tour, with prices

Prices checked 16 October 2026. Operators change their prices with the date and the season, so these figures are a guide; check the booking page for the current price. Every tour below links to its GetYourGuide listing, with its rating and number of reviews beside it. A tour with only a handful of reviews has little track record yet, which is a reason for care, not a verdict on the tour.

Multi-day prices assume two people sharing a room. The three-day hotel tour’s listing charges solo travellers a single-room fee on top, and the camel ride on the Ksar Ghilane camel tour is only included if you pick that option at booking.

Tours at the same price: how to choose

At $66 from Djerba, several tours run the Ksar Ghilane and Matmata route. The jeep safari lists lunch and the Sidi Driss entry and has by far the most reviews. The small-group Ksar Ghilane and Matmata tour is a shorter day, listed at 7.5 hours in a smaller group, and is rated 4.7/5 from more than 150 reviews; its inclusions mention tea and time at the hot spring but no lunch, so ask before you book. The Sahara and Matmata caves tour at $65 shares that listing’s options almost line for line. If Douz and the hill village of Toujane appeal more than Ksar Ghilane, the Douz, Matmata and Toujane jeep tour includes lunch and Sidi Driss entry for the same $66, on 14 reviews at 4.8/5.

At $54 to Tataouine, three tours share the price. Take the Tataouine, Chenini and Ksar Hadada tour if you want the Ksar Hadada entry covered, since it is the only one of the three whose listing says so by name. The Tataouine and Chenini full-day tour (4.6/5 from more than 150 reviews) includes lunch but lists no entry fees. The nine-hour Tataouine and Chenini tour is the shortest of the three and rated 4.6/5 from 17 reviews.

What costs extra on top of the tour price

Every tour on this page lists pickup and free cancellation, so neither separates one from another. The extras do:

  • Drinks with lunch. Excluded on almost every tour that includes a meal, and the most common complaint in otherwise happy reviews.
  • Lunch itself out of Tozeur. The main Tozeur day trip and the short dune run both exclude food, so budget for a meal or a snack.
  • Camel rides and quad bikes at Ksar Ghilane. Excluded on the jeep safari and most of the other $66 tours, and priced locally on the day. Our what to expect guide has a recent quote.
  • Tips, including the village guide at Chenini. One Tataouine listing marks the Chenini guide as optional and extra. Carry small notes in dinars.
  • Entry fees where the listing does not name them. Sidi Driss, Ksar Hadada and Ksar Ouled Soltane charge admission, and a tour that covers it saves you paying at the gate in dinars.

Private and per-group prices

Private tours here are mostly priced per person, so a couple pays twice the listed price and splitting the car saves nothing. The Chebika, Mides and Mos Espa day costs two people $246 at the starting price, and the private Tataouine and Chenini day with lunch costs them $288.

The exception is the private Tataouine, Chenini and Matmata day, at $246 for up to two people, which is $123 each for a couple. It is the one day trip that covers both the ksour and Sidi Driss, with all three entry fees and lunch included. Doing the same ground as two shared trips, the $54 Tataouine tour and the $66 jeep safari, costs $120 each and takes two days. A solo traveller pays the full $246, though, and the tour is rated 4.2/5 from 58 reviews, lower than the shared tours it competes with. Our breakdown of the private day covers the route.

Tours that offer less for the price

The 4x4 Sahara adventure to Ksar Ghilane and Matmata costs $80 for the route the jeep safari covers at $66, and it has 3 reviews (4.7/5) against more than 800.

The 2.5-hour mountain oases tour from Tozeur costs $84 and is rated 3.5/5 from 4 reviews, the lowest rating on this page. For $39 more, the private Chebika, Mides and Mos Espa day covers the same oases and the film set over a full day.

On Djerba itself, the private Jektis and Ajim day costs $241 with no reviews yet. The four-hour Djerba filming locations tour visits the Mos Eisley cantina site in Ajim and the house used for Obi-Wan Kenobi for $112, though it has only 2 reviews so far.

Should you pay more?

Pay more if you are based in Tozeur and want the oases at your own pace, if two of you want the ksour and Sidi Driss in a single day, or if a night at a desert camp is part of the trip you came for. If you are staying on Djerba and want the filming locations with lunch and a guide, the $54 and $66 shared tours give you the same places, and the private versions mainly add space in the vehicle.

Frequently Asked Questions

How much does a Star Wars tour in Tunisia cost?

A shared full day from Djerba or Zarzis costs $54 to $66 per person, usually with lunch. From Tozeur, the short Mos Espa dune run starts at $48 and the private full day through the oases at about $123 per person. Two-day trips from Tunis run from $656 to $718 per person.

Is lunch included on Tunisia Star Wars tours?

On most Djerba day trips, yes, though drinks are extra. Many Tozeur day trips exclude food, including the best-reviewed one, so budget for lunch there.

Are entry fees included?

It depends on the tour. The Ksar Ghilane jeep safari includes Hotel Sidi Driss, the $54 Tataouine tour includes Ksar Hadada, and the private Tataouine and Matmata day covers all three paid sites. Check the inclusions before you compare prices.

Is a private Star Wars tour cheaper for a couple?

Usually not, because most private tours here charge per person. The private Tataouine, Chenini and Matmata day is the exception, at $246 for up to two people.

Why do Tozeur tours cost more than Djerba tours?

Many Tozeur operators sell private 4x4 days, while Djerba operators mostly fill shared vehicles. The short dune run from Tozeur is still the cheapest Star Wars tour in Tunisia, at $48.

Stand Where Tatooine Was Filmed

Mos Espa, Sidi Driss and Ksar Hadada are still out there in the sand — and a 4x4 day trip from Djerba, Tozeur or Tunis is the only practical way to reach them. Compare the options and book with free cancellation.
