Ajim, a ferry port on the island of Djerba, Tunisia, was transformed into the streets of Mos Eisely for the filming of A New Hope. The exterior of the cantina where Obi Wan and Luke first meet Han Solo is currently an unused building in need of repair. Interiors were shot at Elstree Studios.
Some nerdy trivia: the full name of the cantina is Chalmun's Spaceport Cantina named after its owner, a wookie named Chalmun.
