Ksar Ouled Soltane, a historic fortified granary in southern Tunisia famed for its role in Star Wars, is best accessed by car or organized tour from Tataouine. While a solo visit is feasible, a guided tour often enhances the experience with historical context and logistics for exploring multiple ksour. The ideal visiting seasons are spring (March-May) and autumn (September-November) to avoid the extreme summer heat, though it's open year-round. Entrance fees are minimal, typically just a few Tunisian Dinars, with the main cost being transportation. Visitors usually spend 1-2 hours exploring the site, admiring its unique ghorfa architecture, making it a key stop on a half or full-day excursion in the region. Remember comfortable shoes, water, and be prepared for potential local vendors.
