On an excursion from Tozeur to the mountain oases, the Cascade de Tamerza is a magical place. This region, located in south-west Tunisia, is famous for its desert landscapes interspersed with magnificent oases. The waterfall, nestled in the heart of the Tunisian Atlas Mountains, offers a striking contrast to the surrounding aridity, creating an oasis of freshness and greenery.
The Chebika oasis, nestled in the mountains of Djebel el Negueb, is one of Tunisia's most enchanting destinations, offering spectacular panoramic views over the desert. On an excursion from Tozeur, visitors are transported into a landscape that seems frozen in time, between lush palm groves and craggy rocky cliffs.
From the Chebika oasis in Tunisia, a striking landscape opens up to lush palm trees and the Saharan Atlas Mountains in the distance. Nestled deep in the mountains, Chebika is one of the most beautiful mountain oases, renowned for its greenery contrasting with the surrounding aridity. On an excursion from Tozeur, this region reveals freshwater springs that irrigate date palms and create a veritable haven of peace in the heart of the desert.
Imagine standing on a vantage point overlooking Tamerza, a fascinating abandoned village nestled in the mountains of south-west Tunisia. With the imposing Saharan Atlas range as a backdrop, Tamerza looks like a relic frozen in time. Ancient stone buildings, worn down by the merciless elements of the desert, stand against the rugged landscape, with doors and windows that once framed scenes of daily life, now open onto the vast silence of the mountains.
The view from the Mides canyon, located in south-west Tunisia close to the Algerian border, offers a spectacular panorama that attracts lovers of natural landscapes and a change of scenery. The canyon is one of the three main mountain oases, alongside Chebika and Tamerza, that can be discovered on excursions from Tozeur, a town about an hour's drive away.
