Haouaria | Exploring Tunisia | Cave exploring!

I continue to explore Tunisia as go on a hike to Haouaria, a coastal town and commune in the Nabeul Governorate, Tunisia.
We went to East Haouaria and started our hike at the Port.

We then climbed up the hillside and took in great open scenes of the Mediterranean Sea, the views where just breath taking. We then made out way to an Old Fort on the hills, we had lunch, then as usual, enjoyed some traditional folk music and dancing.

After Lunch we hiked back down the hill but on a different path to an area call Ras El Drek, where we discovered hidden caves with crystal clear water. We took the opportunity to explore and swim although the water was cold!!!

We hiked back to the bus and stopped at Restaurant La Daurade for some coffee and refreshments while we took in to great view of the ocean.

It was an excellent day with great people and friends, I cannot wait till the next trip!!

Bizerte, Tunisia بَنزَرِتْ - The northernmost city in Africa

Chott el Jerid -Tozeur - Ong Jemel,Tunisia

The bottom of Chott el Djerid is located between 10 and 25 meters above sea level[5]. Roughly in the shape of a tadpole, with a width of 20 km (12 mi) at its narrowest point, it reaches 250 km (160 mi) in overall length. At times, parts of it appear in various shades of white, green and purple[6]

It is the largest salt pan of the Sahara with a surface area of over 7,000 km2 (some sources state 5,000 km2). Due to the extreme climate with annual rainfall of only 100 mm and temperatures reaching 50 °C, water evaporates from the lake. In summer Chott el Djerid is almost entirely dried up, and numerous fata morganas occur.

During winter, a small tributary of water can be seen discharging into the lake.
Tozeur (Arabic: توزر‎ Tauzar) is an oasis and a city in south west Tunisia. The city is located North West of Chott el-Djerid, in between this Chott and the smaller Chott el-Gharsa. It is the capital of the Tozeur Governorate.

With hundreds of thousands of palm trees, Tozeur is a large oasis. The dates that are exported from Tozeur are very well known. In ancient times, before the advent of motorized vehicles, the oasis was important for the transportation through the Sahara, which took place in caravans. The name of the city in antiquity was Tusuros, it was an important Roman outpost.

In the medina (old city) of Tozeur, one can find traditional architecture, fashion and workmanship. Like elsewhere in Tunisia, the local population is generally very hospitable towards tourists, and there are also many tourist facilities. From Tozeur one can make trips on a camel, explore the Sahara Desert and get to know the Chott el-Djerid, where one can see fata Morgana's.
Ong Jemel (ie Camel Neck) - in the desert near Tozeur. Was the backdrop to some scenes in Star Wars and the English Patient
