Tamerza Travel Guide

 Quartzy Says:  When you go to Tunisia, you have to stop to see the oases. The one in Tamerza is beautiful, although very touristic (which means there are many boutiques set up on the way to the oasis, but oh well). We were in a tour which stopped in Chebika as well, but I found the one in... 

 euzkadi Says:  This spectular place is the less visited of the three Mountain Oasis near Tozeur, and maybe it´s the most beautiful and the most interesting of them. The reason why? there´s no way to get here unless you have a car or are part of an organized tour (as i was). It´s located... 

 euzkadi Says:  You can have great views from this viewpoint of the desert, the oasis and the salt lake. 

 euzkadi Says:  The Mides Oasis has a small cascade, but it was almost dry (maybe because i went in the summer dry season). 

 euzkadi Says:  This beautiful stone is a variety of the mineral Gypsium grow in the spaces between sand particles. And is very common to find these crystals in all Tunisian markets. 

 euzkadi Says:  The villagers have installed a small market and a coffee shop near the waterfall, a good way to help the local economy is buying handicrafts or having a tea.

 euzkadi Says:  Old Tamerza is actually a ghost town, after the floods that destroyed the city, it was move to a new location (1km west) but explore the town ruins is a great experience. 

 euzkadi Says:  Tamerza has two waterfalls. There several stalls of handicrafts in the entrance and is a popular spot for local visitors (and was very crowded when i visited the place). 

 barryg23 Says:  After our meal we walked down to see Tamerza's famed waterfall. This lies on the edge of the huge oasis and it's a very popular spot. There is a hotel nearby and the walk down to the waterfall is lined with shops selling typical souvenirs you see in all the shops around the...

 JLBG Says:  Good local dishes, wide choice. They serve wine. When we were there, they served mloukhia (or Molukhyia), a beef stew seasoned with ground dry young leaves of a plant (Corchorus olitorius) that gives it an amazing green blackish color. The fiber of this plant is much used...
