Known local­ly as Qasr al-Shams (Cas­tle of the Sun), the Chebi­ka Oasis offers cool respite and life-giv­ing water at the foot of Tunisia’s dra­mat­ic Djebel el Negueb Moun­tains. It was once a Roman out­post, but lat­er became a moun­tain refuge for the Berber peo­ple. Scenes from both Star Wars and The Eng­lish Patient were filmed here.
