Ksar Hadada

The climate is semi-arid, as the Sahara is only fifty kilometers away, and rain is rare but abundant when it does occur.

Most of the village's residents no longer live there and only return during the holidays; this emigration is caused by a lack of employment.

Ksar Hadada remains strongly tied to the nearby town of Ghomrassen, as it is the seat of the municipality.

In June 1997, American film director George Lucas used the area to shoot on-location scenes for Star Wars: Episode I – The Phantom Menace (1999) to represent Mos Espa on the planet Tatooine, the birthplace of Anakin Skywalker.

An onshore oil field in the south of Tunisia is named Ksar Hadada.
