landscapes, oases, and canyons made famous and films like Star Wars, Indiana
Jones, and the English Patient. Let's go check it out.
We drive 45 minutes from to Tozeur to the mountain oasis town of Chebika. This is
called chebika and this is where the English Patient was filmed hey guys we're

Really cool.
Chebika was built on the site of a Roman military post in the mud brick houses
sitting above the palm grove were abandoned due to a catastrophic flood
this used to be under the ocean so there's geodes everywhere oh my gosh
