Eden Palm • les trésors de l'oasis |

|
The brand new (it had opened only three months before my arrival) Eden Palm - Les Trésors de l'Oasis was my favourite spot in Tozeur. It was a very nicely done exposition about the date palmtrees and offered a number of tours around the palmerai. The shortest was 45 minutes, cost TND6 (€3) and included an explanation of the irigation system, the method of measuring time for watering the palmtrees without a watch, and a workshop of objects made from the palmtree. The latter showed the ways to make chairs, armchairs, 'wooden' planks (the palm is not a tree but a grass), woven bags and similar objects. The culmination of the tour was a showcase of date products, most of which were preserves; butter made of white dates; date sirup mixed with hazelnut masse; and date jam mixed with lemon were all divine! I got a jar of each!
