Kimberly, you made me look forward to visiting Tunisia already. I hope I can do it one day soon. Nice coverage of what sounds like a great experience.

Actually this looks like a lot of fun. Is this the part where I say I don’t have children? :-)

Another one for the bucket list…

Nice pictures!! Truly sound Star Wars, this great desert is truly biggest nature marvels in the world and is absolutely worth a visit.

Best regards,

Thanks for all your comments. Look forward to seeing you and your kids up on camels on our next visit there. Just another point for the Star Wars fans out there – apparently George Lucas borrowed heavily upon Tunisian customs for his films. The robes worn by the Jedis in the films are actually the real traditional robes worn everyday by Berbers in southern Tunisia. My kids and I were doing double takes seeing these robed men all around the desert, alas, minus the light-sabers…

If we ever find ourselves in Tunisia, this is a MUST for our family. What a cool memory you’ve given your boys!

So good to know that intergalactic travel is really a lot easier than most people think :) So cool.

As a TRUE Star Wars fan, this is very cool. I don’t care how bumpy the ride was….
