Where is Tozeur?

Tozeur 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.
