people will stop off in Tozeur on a desert safari through
Tunisia's great south. However, it is well worth taking the
time to explore the town centre with its ornate brickwork
and huge oasis. The unusual activities and places of

unforgettable destination. The summer months can be
dizzyingly hot, but winter sunshine is practically
guaranteed!

drive adventures, camel ride and camel racing, Surf on the
sand dunes, Sand Rose Quest, hot air ballooning over the
dunes and full of other activities in the Tunisian Sahara
are all available.

luxurious hotel swimming pools or souvenir hunting in the
Medina. There are also plans to build golf courses.
Cultural Events & Festivals:
International Oasis Festival in Tozeur (November).
NEFTA:
Nefta, just a few kilometers from Tozeur, spreads out like a
green carpet on a stark and harsh plateau eroded by
sandstorms. Here one can truly imagine the utter joy of the
Saharian traveller as he beholds this pearl of the Djerid on
the horizon.
Hundreds
of thousands of palms and fruit trees thrive in the
blessings of hundreds of springs. At the northern end of
this lovely oasis lies the principal spring with gently
running waters and a breathtaking view of the oasis.
