Tunisia Trip | The Town of Dates, Tozeur
🔛 Continuing the Tunisia trip
Citywalk The Town of Dates - Tozeur,
is the largest oasis city on the edge of the Sahara Desert,
I've been to three oases before, and they were all very beautiful.
The ancient city's buildings are made of beige bricks,
which are made by burning date palm branches into ash, adding it to clay, and firing it again.
The ancient city in the streets has a sense of time travel,
and in some ways, it's quite similar to the ancient city of Kashgar in Xinjiang.
-
The ancient city's market atmosphere is not overly commercial,
there are just some local, everyday life scenes.
Walking through the narrow, sun-drenched alleys to the ancient city,
looking up, the trees that looked like coconut trees are actually date palms.
Young teenagers wearing slippers riding motorcycles,
pass by us, with curiosity in their eyes;
I don't know where a group of local children came from,
laughing and surrounding me,
I quickly called my friends to help me take a photo,
the strange Chinese face is also a curiosity to them,
but they are not afraid, they chatted with us in English for a few sentences,
and even tried to invite the boys among us to play football, laughing so happily.
-
🕌 The ancient city is not particularly large, there's no special strategy,
we passed by the mosque, visited the local craft market,
bought some characteristic bags and fridge magnets, as well as dates
all of which you can haggle over the price a bit,
the artworks hanging in the alleyways,
with a touch of local artistic flavor,
I really like this small city, slow and gentle.
Tunisian desert gateway, the romance and oasis spectacle of Tozeur
🚗Continue self-driving from Kairouan, next stop: Sahara Desert. As the city of rest before we enter the hinterland of the desert, Tozeur has the title of "Desert Gateway" and is also the oasis city of Tunisia. In the vast desert of yellow sand, the fertile soil is so abundant with water and grass, it's really rare.
🌴Here you can not only feel the roughness and desolation of the desert, but also the spectacular scenery of the oasis. This is the location of the "Star Wars" shooting, and also the best place for sweet dates. The small city is covered with a date palm forest of 1,000 hectares. For many years, people have been irrigating this land with underground spring water, maintaining the fragile ecological balance of this oasis.
🏔️On the mountains in the desert around the city of Tozeur, there are also several scenic spots with unique "mountaintop oases", with Chebika, Tamerza, and Mides oases being the most famous, and we went to two of them.
1️⃣Chebika is the first mountaintop oasis to arrive. Climbing to the top of the mountain along the trail behind the mountain, you can overlook the source of the entire oasis, and you can also overlook the entire cityscape of Tozeur. Following the downhill trail, listening to the gurgling spring water surging in the depths of the valley, watching the small waterfall formed between the cliffs, nourishing this land, it is a paradise in the yellow earth.
2️⃣Tamerza Oasis, not far from Chebika, inside is the Mides Gorge, which is only one kilometer from the Algerian border. The natural combination of high mountain desert and oasis is spectacular and gorgeous.
This was the location for the shooting of the film "The English Patient", which won nine awards at the 69th Oscars. This film, constructed by desert, airplane, map, war, mural and Hungarian ballad, is known as "soft as oil painting". Here, you can feel the romantic feelings in the desert spreading.
👫The temperature in Tozeur this season is just right, not cold or hot. There are stalls selling souvenirs and food in the scenic area. For the first time, I saw desert roses and amethyst raw stones, and for the first time I drank fresh juice squeezed from authentic Tunisian soft-seeded pomegranates. Sitting in the sun outdoors in front of low stone walls and rough houses, chatting with friends and newly met locals, is our way of communicating with the world, and it's an afternoon worth freezing in time.
Reflecting on 2023: Embracing Hope, Success, Happiness, Peace, and Health in the New Year! 🌟
2023 was a year full of ups and downs, laughs and tears. May this new year give you hope, success, happiness, peace and health.

Chebika Oasis Travel Recommendations for 2024 (Updated in Jun)
The oasis of the Chott el Djerid desert in Tunisia, a phoenix chanting vitality!
🚙On our trip to Tunisia, our car headed south to Tozeur, stopping at the oasis of the Chott el Djerid desert. This oasis in the Atlas Mountains valley on the border of western Tunisia and Algeria is a burst of life in a yellow desert. It's like a phoenix chanting vitality, singing poems of the past and present with a spring.
📍The Chott el Djerid oasis is a rare sight in the desert Gobi, a miracle in the red and yellow mountains like Mars. The survival of the fittest has to marvel at the miracle of life, this 'Peach Blossom Spring'. In addition, there was originally a village on the hill next to the Chott el Djerid oasis. In 1969, a rare heavy rain hit the area, and the original small village was completely destroyed in the rain. The ruins of the village still stand on the ridge.
📑A little knowledge. The tree that looks like a coconut tree in the picture is the 'date palm', an economic crop that Tunisia is proud of. This palm-like plant has a particularly developed root system, absorbs the water and nutrients for growth from the ground, and coupled with the long sunshine in Tunisia, its taste is soft and sweet. It is a must-buy souvenir when you come to Tunisia. The local chefs all love it unabashedly, and every dish will have it. I personally love it very much. The key point is that it is very cheap. You can buy two kilograms for 5-10 dinars in local currency, which is equivalent to 10-20 yuan in RMB!
The Hiberica oasis will really make people tired. Before thinking about it, its good to look at it. I dont know if the enemy is coming.
I think about going down the trail to see the waterfall. I didn't expect to walk around and take the whole circle down.
When entering the door, there will be many people around you telling you that he will take you around, climb to the top of the mountain, then take the path to the mountain. Behind, look at the waterfall to see the creek and come back how to
basically laugh and refuse, because:
1 I think if the sister is not like me, I am wearing a short skirt and a pair of broken slippers. If you climb the mountain in more than 40 degrees of sunshine, you dont think you have to go around the mountain. You can go directly to the mountain to see the water, or you can look at the scenery in the nearest height.
2 If you want to walk the ring, you actually Its all about finding a way because there is only one way. European and American tourists are basically walking on their own, just keep up, no need to spend money to find someone to bring.
But if you have a little brother with a rim, you can also spend 10 dinars, so someone will take pictures of you.
Also known as the "Sprite and Oasis", the Sebica Oasis, located at the foot of a mountain in the province of Tunisia, is an fascinating mountain oasis and the most popular mountain oasis in the world.
The quiet and comfortable Tsubica Oasis is simply a rare desert collection, a touch of green glimpses into our eyes and shakes our nerves. It lies in the rolling mountains and is a wonderland in the wild mountains. The buildings in the town are made of clay. After being destroyed by the ruthless flood, it is now a deserted city.
In such a desolate environment of the Gobi, with a red dress, you can stand out in the loess and dust, and become a bright color.
Tozeur, the desert oasis, the Grand Canyon, and the location of the British Patient. In this deserted cave, Emmaus took the scene of the dead Catherine, and the whole drama was sorrowful to the extreme.
Tunisian Sahara Travel Recommendations for 2024 (Updated in Jun)
Before I came to Tunisia, the only thing I knew about Tunisia was the Sahara Desert. So before I set off, I thought Tunisia was definitely hot, so I didnt think I would bring a box of short sleeves, all kinds of colors, I could change two pieces a day. The number, until I got on the plane, I thought of freezing the dead man in the desert at night. At that time, I had to comfort myself. After all, I still had a long-sleeved coat. I had to endure the night of the desert. As a result, I went to the hotel two nights before entering Sahara, and I went out for three hours when I remembered it. Its gone. . .
Before I was so stupid, I had to climb into the local market before the desert to find clothes, and finally I got a flower sweater worn by locals at 80 yuan. Thanks to this flower-to-death sweater, I passed the Sahara night.

Tamerza Canyon Travel Recommendations for 2024 (Updated in Jun)
What is special about the Dameiheza Oasis is that it is the location of the 69th Oscar-winning film "British Patient".
This film, made up of deserts, planes, maps, wars, murals and Hungarian songs, is hailed as "softness like oil painting".
In this deserted cave, Emmaus took the scene of the dead Catherine, and reached the extreme point of the whole drama.
The rock wall here, after weathering, presents a magnificent trace of the texture, which is similar to the beauty of the American Grand Canyon.
