Still with the right feeling 
When making scenes from Mos Espa for The Phantom Menace he may have run out of ready-made locations, and created his own city scenes here instead.Ten years on, the place in so good condition that it attracts a high number visitors from Tozeur every day. They drive across rugged desert tracks in 4WDs, and cross a couple of sand dunes to get into the mood of desert travelling. The tracks were actually made for the shooting of another grand movie, The English Patient.The site of Mos Espa consists of 15-20 buildings, of which some are only facades. Four satellite readers or something still stands, and there is even a blue pod beneath the houses.Mos Espa will not survive many decades, the disintegration has since long begun. Pieces are falling off, and the chicken wire and the pieces of wood holding it together are revealed. Yet, it is all impressively well-preserved. And if you're lucky to behold it without many tourists around you, you will get the right feeling. PRACTICALIITIES
