Chott el Jerid (Arabic: شط الجريد) is a dry salt lake in southwest Tunisia. The salt flats were used for the exterior of the Lars homestead on Tatooine. The interior was filmed in Hôtel Sidi Driss, which is located in Matmata, 300 kilometers away. The site was renovated by fans between 2010 and 2012. The man-made craters are still there.
