Tamerza: Saharan Oasis in the Wild West of Tunisia
After spending a week in the Tunis, the capital of Tunisia, we ventured south into the Sahara. Our destination was Tamerza, an isolated, mountain oasis on the border with Algeria. We had the whole place to ourselves, including an awesome guesthouse on a little river in the middle of the palm oasis.

TOZEUR TUNISIA - TOUR OF THE DESERT OASIS توزر (travel vlog 2019)
Welcome to TOZEUR Tunisia. This is an enchanting palm oasis located in southwest Tunisia, on the edge of the Sahara. While the surrounding area appears desolate, the oasis springs up like a mirage and buzzing with activity. TOZEUR is known for its old Medina and unique brick architecture, that make you feel like you have stepped back in time. Today we are going to uncover the mysteries within this unique desert community.
Tucked away in the peaceful oasis is Diar Abou Habibi, a chilled out accommodation with uniquely decorated cabins. It’s an excellent base for tourists wanted to visit the nearby Star Wars sets, salt flats, and Atlas Mountains.
Next, we visit the date farm. Date production plays an important role in the economy of the oasis, as it provides many jobs to farmers and exporters. Tunisian dates are exported to more than 80 countries.The cultivation of the dates requires lots of manual labor.
On the outskirts of the oasis, we visit a brickwork factory. TOZEUR is famous for its yellowish/brown bricks, which are made by hand using clay. They are a passed down tradition and keep the houses cool during the hot 325 days of sun.
Lastly, we enjoy a Tunisian feast including Tunisian wine before checking out the nightlife at a local hookah lounge.

Tamerza is the largest mountain oasis in Tunisia, known as Ad Turres by the Romans. It has a pleasant canyon and has an abandoned old town. The town was abandoned after the river flooded for 22 days in 1969. It is located north of the salt lakes and receives fresh water from the nearby hills. It is in the hillcountry near the border with Algeria, and is 6km from Mides.
Tamarza
Tamarza is located close to the Algerian border, 70km from Tozeur. Tamerza is surrounded by steep and wild area country and is renownd for its clear water cascades and springs that irrigate the towns park.
Chebika is an oasis mountain south of Tunisia , specifically west of the governorate of Tozeur .
It probably corresponds to the ancient advanced post of Ad Speculum. Located on the limes Sahara linking Tebessa in Gafsa , the Romans there were using mirrors to communicate with other stations and report possible enemy incursions.
The present village of Chebika is built near the old abandoned village in 1969 as a result of floods deadly that left more than 400 dead in Tunisia. The site writes Jean Duvignaud , is placed in the intersection of two advanced mountain that opens here to the desert .
The urban fabric consists of a chessboard whose lines are formed by streets intersecting at the level of the market place.
