Where is Tozeur?

Tozeur, TunisiaTozeur is an oasis town sandwiched between two enormous salt lakes being Chott el Jerid and Chott el Gharsa. It’s position is remote in the south-west region of Tunisia and generally off the tourist trail – making it well worth the effort to visit.

Tozeur is well-known for its date production from the thousands of date palms within the oasis. These dates are exported all over. In the medina of Tozeur, you can find traditional architecture, fashion and workmanship. The architecture in particular is eye catching with its yellow/brownish brickwork displaying floral motifs and intricate patterns. On the out skirts of Tozeur is a private museum, DarCheraït, which is devoted to southern Tunisia’s history and everyday life.

Travel Photo of the Week: Contemporary Architecture and Fine Food at the Olinda Tea House

The Olinda Tea House is one of my favourite nearby award winning tea houses and restaurants. It’s probably no more than 20 minutes away! It’s not long been opened (landscaping is still underway) and the contemporary architecture, combined with its layout and building products, make it an environmentally sustainable venue. It brings the beautiful outdoors of the Dandenong Ranges, indoors!

If you’re ever in the  area to enjoy the attractions of the Dandenong Ranges, you must include stopping here for lunch or a cuppa.
