Tozeur Tunisia

Tozeur is an incredibly enchanting desert town located in Southern Tunisia, on the outskirts of the salt lake of Chott el-Jerid. It is encircled by a multitude of attractions, making it the perfect starting point to discover the entire region. The allure of this oasis, its magnificent 14th century medina, and botanical gardens are the city's primary attractions. The city's unique architecture, characterized by its distinctive brick patterns, is a visual delight. However, many visitors to Tozeur are drawn by the three nearby deserted villages, Chebika, Tamerza, and Mides. The fascination of these three villages lies in the fact that they were deserted during the floods of 1969, providing a glimpse into what life was like in oasis villages at that time.
