-------------------------------
Tataouine (also spelled Tatahouine or Tatawin) is a city located in southern Tunisia (Latitude: 32? 55' 60N - Longitude: 10? 26' 60E; altitude: 246 meters; time zone: UTC+1). It is one of Tunisia's 24 governates.
The area is famous for its Ksour (abandoned Berber settlements) including the picturesque Ksar Ouled Sultane, Chenini and Douiret. These settlements feature beautiful ghorfa (granaries).
June 27, 1931 a meteorite of the rare achondrite type impacted at Tataouine, about 12 kg of fragments were found. The mineral of this meteorite was named Diogenite.
Tataouine's name became famous when George Lucas, who filmed the original Star Wars film in various locations of Tunisia (for example, the [Lars Homstead], filmed at the Hotel Sidi Driss in Matmata), named Luke Skywalker's fictional home planet Tatooine.
