13-Day Dream Trip to North Africa|Sahara Starry Sky + Star Wars Filming Locations

Half Atlantic Ocean🌊, Half Sahara Desert🏜️~When I arrived in Morocco Tunisia + Morocco|Who says North Africa is only desert? I found the alien battlefield of Star Wars and fairy tale towns here! Just back from North Africa, my soul is still lost in the Sahara😭... This 13-day Tunisia + Morocco loop trip is definitely one of my most "wow" travels in recent years! Sharing with sisters who want to unlock off-the-beaten-path destinations👭 📍Tunisia A must-visit for Star Wars fans! We drove a 4WD🚙 into the Matmata desert, and those yellow earth fortresses instantly transported me to the planet Tatooine✨ 🌟Recommended spots: - El Jem in Sousse Old Town|Ticket: $10 - Blue and white town Sidi Bou Said|Location: Tunis Governorate 20 minutes by taxi from Tunis city Local feature: Every door is exquisitely carved blue, full of bougainvillea, definitely the North African version of Santorini💙 📍Morocco Chefchaouen: Not just blue! Deep in the alleys are 🐱cats, painted pottery, and wool blankets, every snap is a cultural masterpiece 🌟Best photo spot: Beside Ras El Maa waterfall Fes: Stay at Riad Fes Courtyard Hotel (Address: 15 Derb Idrissi, Fes) The rooftop offers a sunset view over the ancient city🌄 Local music and dance performances are stunning, the sound of bells during the spins is amazing Marrakech: Took a horse carriage tour of the old city, super photogenic📸 Must visit Le Jardin Secret, a popular restaurant with a terrace to try North African millet rice! 🍴Food Review Tunisia: - Plum stewed beef tagine🥘 sweet and sour, appetizing - Harissa chili sauce, use with caution🌶️ Morocco: - Traditional mint tea🍵 needs 4 sugar cubes to taste right - Seafood platter in Hammamet🦐 prawns longer than your palm 💡Travel TIPs - Joined a refined small group, all four-star hotels upgraded to five-star - The pool at La Mamounia hotel in Marrakech is stunning😍 - In-car WiFi works even in the desert, perfect for posting on social media 13 days in North Africa felt like a colorful dream with the scent of spices🌈 Now the dream is over, but I will always miss that sea of sand and blue alleys... Enough said, I’m going to flip through my photo album😭
