Renowned as the backdrop for iconic scenes in the film series, Nefta's otherworldly landscapes transport visitors to a galaxy far, far away. Beyond its cinematic allure, Nefta enchants with its mesmerising scenery, from rolling dunes that stretch as far as the eye can see to palm-fringed oases. The ancient town is steeped in history, with its labyrinthine medina, adorned with vibrant blue and white facades, and the iconic Mosque of Sidi Bouhlel, which stands as a testament to the region's spiritual heritage.

The Las Vegas Strip is probably the world's best-known boulevard stretch, so do prepare yourself for an intense few hours among casinos, restaurants, stores, top-notch hotels, and many other establishments. One of the most popular activities is taking pictures with people dressed up as the famous, and one of the choices is Marilyn Monroe, Elvis, and even Alan from the movie "The Hangover." After having been here during the day, come back at night to rediscover the Strip, and for getting both dizzy and amazed in this sea of shimmering neon lights.

Easy place to spend a couple of hours, especially when the weather’s doing its usual thing.
