Tunisian Desert and Star Wars

We celebrated Maria’s birthday by taking a bus tour into the Sahara. They said there are three types of desert: rocky, salt, and sandy. We went through miles of rocky desert, stopping at an oasis where there were date palms, viewing camel caravans, and visiting underground houses which were used as sets on the Star Wars movies.
