Southern Tunisia
This hotel 2km west of town has the facade of a traditional ksar (fortified granary), but it's a movie set as much as any Star Wars location. The courtyards, surrounded by several floors of modern cave-style rooms, look surreal, though a few point to the damp difficulties of adding bathrooms to even a pretend cave. There's a decent restaurant and bar.
The views over the desert from the poolside terrace are breathtaking.
