Travel guide to Tozeur

Amazing old man

The small town of Tozeur, famous for its giant oasis and intricate brick work seemed laid back. The date trade must have been keeping the local population very happy. Tozeur is located on the Sahara desert and, more specifically, at one of the desert's largest oases. The oasis allegedly contains over 400,000 palmtrees, most of which are date palmtrees. The town is famous for its date production, and some of the world's best dates come from Tozeur. Their flesh is translucent. The town, as many of Tunisia's places geared towards tourism, is split in two. The new town, comprising of upscale hotels, restaurants and bars, is called 'zone touristique', and is located in the southern part of the town. The older, original (and authentic!) district is located right on the western edge of the main oasis. The link between the older district and zone touristique is relatively attractive. The intricate brick work of Tozeur is its calling card as well. Only Nefta and Tozeur have this characteristic. [edit text] [editors]
