Matmata's fame comes from the unusual Troglodyte cave houses – instead of building the houses, they were dug vertically into the ground. This is to avoid detection from any distance. We stopped at one fellas house and looked around. But don’t forget to give him some money on the way out.
Okay maybe I lied, there is another reason why Matmata is famous. I little flick made here in 1976 call Star Wars. The home of Uncle Owen and Luke Skywalker is now called Sidi Driss Hotel.
