Being the name-giver to a plant in George Lucas' Star Wars universe, one might expect Tataouine to something quite spectacular. But it is not. The town is new and stripped of everything from its centuries of history. Still it is a friendly and lively place. There are plenty of cafes open at least a few hours into the night, and people here are open and interested in making new acquaintances. Even at day there are things to see, as Tataouine is by far the most important market place in its region.
