Tunisian Underground City



Matmata Tunisian city located underground




When accessible experience only barren hills that resemble the face of the moon terrain
No trace of life, and then we discover that everything that exists in the deep underground drilling
Whole village living in the soles of sandstone, each hole or a component of the house
The courtyard of the main house decorated with cartoons, including digging forks other is the rest of the
Rooms of the house go down a narrow ramp leads to the door of the house, or rather

To the hole.

Returning residents of the village on the curiosity of strangers and this has become a source of livelihood for them, most of them
The holes left and went to the homes of the new cement in Matmata, but still
There are about five hundred of them underground, bear invasions of tourists daily
Standing at the edge of the excavation, they portray minutes their lives



And (Matmata) ancient Berber tribe could not resist the hordes of Bani Hilal
Has been unable to cope with them, her family immigrated to this rugged region and have dug their homes
In its interior so that no one sees them and even adapt with climate Fbatn the drilling this has always been
Humid in the summer and warm in the winter is sure that it was merciful to them more than others
Has acquired (Matmata) global fame through the movie (Star Wars) which was filmed in
Exotic homes in 1970
The houses on the screen looked like the echoes of a fictional planet was never there


I leave you with pictures exotic
