"Star Wars" fans have plenty to be excited about, with the saga's conclusion being released in theaters this December. However, the opening of the Anantara Tozeur Resort should give the films' fans (and any luxury traveler) reason to be excited. The "oasis city" of Tozeur rose to fame as a film location for the original "Star Wars" and "Indiana Jones" movies. Once a Roman outpost, the city has a rich travel history as a major stopover point for caravans traversing the Sahara, while the old medina of Tozeur, Ouled el Hwadef, is a must-visit of its own.

Anantara Tozeur Resort has 93 guestrooms, villas and pool villas blending Tunisia's cultural artistry and plush comforts with modern style. There is a choice of deluxe guest rooms, one-bedroom villas and one-bedroom pool villas, some of which can be converted into two-bedroom pool villas. Good to know: The two-bedroom villas and three-bedroom royal pool villas are well suited for families, friends and groups.

In addition, the resort has a health club, swimming pools and the Anantara Spa, offering beauty, relaxation and wellness treatments, as well as ancient Arabian cleansing rituals in the hammam. The Dunes Kids Club is also available, offering creative and cultural activities.
