lars homestead exterior
from star wars, a new hope posted in movies by chewing_the_scenery
The igloo-like exterior of the Lars Homestead from the beginning of A New Hope is located in the salt flats of south-west Tunisia. The crater the film crew dug gives the illusion of the underground courtyard that was actually filmed 240 km away at a hotel in Matmata, Tunisia.
The igloo was dismantled after the filming of A New Hope, but it was rebuilt in the same spot to be used in Attack of the Clones and Revenge of the Sith. After the prequels it fell into disrepair, and some Star Wars fans raised money and restored the small building in 2012.

The interior scenes of the Lars Homestead, the moisture farm on Tatooine where Luke lives with his Uncle Owen and Aunt Beru at the beginning of A New Hope, were filmed at the Hotel Sidi Driss in Matmata, Tunisia, and Lucas and crew revisited it during the filming of the prequel Attack of the Clones.
Star Wars fans (or anyone for that matter, but let's be honest, it's mostly Star Wars fans) can spend the night in the hotel's underground cave-rooms and visit the Lars family kitchen and dining room.
The aboveground igloo exterior in the movie is located over 240 km west near Nafta.

Just in case you thought the Star Wars prequels were entirely CGI, here's an actual physical set for Mos Espa used in The Phantom Menace. In the movie, Mos Espa is the Tatooine spaceport that was home to Anakin and Shmi Skywalker.
The facades for the buildings and some plywood moisture generators are still standing. If you're adventurous, you can find Mos Espa north of the city of Nafta in the Tunisian desert.
