Matmata, Tunisia
Matmata ( ar, مطماطة '; Berber: ⵎⴰⵜⵎⴰⵜⴰ) is a small Berber speaking town in southern Tunisia. Some of the local Berber residents live in traditional underground " troglodyte" structures. In 2004 it had a population of 2,116. The structures typical for the village are created by digging a large pit in the ground.

The visit came as a surprise, but help was provided, and the above-ground settlement of Matmâta was built. Howev ...
