The city is considerably different from the nearby Tataouine, which is regarded as being more modern and comfortable. With the remains of ancient battlements and stone castles that are a haven for any archaeologist, the city manages to find a touristy element to attract visitors.
The most famous attraction of Ghomrassen is the Ksar Hadada, where parts of a Star Wars movie were filmed in 1999. The Ksar was turned into a tourist hotel but was later closed down; it is yet to open to travellers. At present, there are no hotels in Ghomrassen; the closest hotels are in the city of Tataouine.
The city has a popular souq (market) on Fridays, when the locals trade various goods like olive oil, which the region is known for. A few kilometres from Ghomrassen is another Ksar called Ferich that houses a quaint little cafe and carpet shop.
