Go adventuring in the Tunisian Sahara
The desert of southwest Tunisia offers fascinating natural and cultural sights, with the Tozeur oasis and the town of Douz serving as bases of exploration. The Chott el Djerid is the Sahara’s largest salt flat, and an ideal summer location to experience Fata Morganas, a form of mirage.
To observe wildlife, visit Jebil National Park, which is classed as an Important Bird Area, as well as being a habitat for fennec fox, jackal, horned viper, endemic barbary sheep, and many other animals. You can enjoy a taste of Bedouin life staying at a tented camp in the Grand Erg Oriental, a vast series of Saharan dunes within the park. While the facilities are simple, the candlelit camp provides an atmospheric desert experience at night.
