Ksar Hedada might be off the TWHS, but it is probably the most visited site in the region. The Ksar was used as filming location for Star Wars: Episode 1 (representing Mos Espa, the birthplace of Anakin Skywalker, for those into Star Wars) and that is why it is popular with visitors. Half of the Ksar was heavily reconstructed and now includes some shops and a restaurant. Entrance fee is 2 Dinar and you can explore the reconstructed, as well as the untouched part.

It’s not clear to me, why this Ksar had been removed and is not part of the current TWHS, that includes many other Ksars in this region. In terms of partial reconstruction it’s exactly the same level as Ouled Debbab (the reconstructed part is housing a museum, a restaurant and a hotel) or Jouamaa (the whole complex is a currently closed hotel).
