What to do and see in Tozeur, Tozeur Governorate: The Best Nature & Parks
Take your camel to bed at this oasis town in southwestern Tunisia, home to a staggering 200,000 palm trees. Long prosperous due to its setting on the Sahara-crossing camel caravan routes, Tozeur is known for its quality Deglet Nour dates, its beige brick architecture, and its 14th-century medina (Ouled El Hwadef), where the fascinating Dar Chariet Museum houses many early artifacts, including jewelry and ceramics. Tozeur also served as a Star Wars movie series backdrop.

The Sahara was the most interesting experience - the true highlight of the Tunisian holliday. From Tozeur we got into jeeps - modified Toyota Land Cruisers- and we went to the Oasis/Waterfall of Chebika at the foothills of the Atlas mountains. From the Oasis we took the old rout of the Paris-Dakar rally through the sandy desert of Tunisia - you have to do it - it is amazing the scenery is like a movie set in its own and the driving skill shown by the drivers will take the experience to a whole new level - over the dunes - mitigating steep slopes , driving on the side of the hills - where normal vehicles will just tip over but not these and finally stopping on top of a dune from where you can enjoy the sunset in the Sahara and below you see the set of the Star Wars movie - used in the Phantom Menace. From there we drove back to a hotel for the nights rest - only to wake up very early in the morning to catch the sun rising over Chott el Djerid - just brilliant. From there a short ride to the city of Douz where we took a 45 min camel ride in the desert. To see, feel and smell the desert. Overall a great experience - I recommend you take the Sahara trip , is definitely the highlight of any Tunisian holiday. Was for me at least.

This is a very amazing place. It is a desert but instead of sand you walk on salt! If you have the opportunity to be there at sunrise time the view is even more shocking.

As we went along with The Soul of Sahara team and its guide Ahmed, we were full of surprise to discover this part of Sahara which is a ravishingly beautiful canyon, Nature is so full of surprises and awesomeness.
