Latest Tozeur hotel reviews
Aitana Says: Le Paradise is a small garden full of a great variety of species of fruit trees and flowers. It is a must for anyone who likes plants. The garden is private but the municipality has also created a zoo beside. In the zoo there are animal species typical of the desert.
Quartzy Says: This museum was withing walking distance of our hotel in Tozeur and opened late, so we decided to have a look.Because it was so late, the museum was empty except for the employees. It was nice because nobody was in our way, but the problem was, an employee decided to give us...
euzkadi Says: This beautiful rock formations are located in Chott El Gharsa lake. A Yardang (found only in deserts) is a unique sandstone feature, the form of it depends upon the winds, and sometimes they form very unusual shapes. There are different types of Yardangs depending on the...
euzkadi Says: The landscape and the Berber architecture inspired George Lucas to film their Star Wars films here. Even if you are not a fan of the saga, you will be impressed by the city constructed in this part of the desert near Nefta.
euzkadi Says: This Chott (the french word Chott comes from the arab word Shat) is one of the Tunisian salt lakes lying south of the Atlas mountains at the northern edge of the Sahara, near the Algerian border. A Chott means a lake or estuary, now there are no water on these lakes, they...
Chott El Djerid the dried up salt lake
kayleigh06 Says: Chott El Djerid is a an impressive dried up Salt Lake on the way down to the South of Tunisia towards Sahara Desert. When you get out of the car (or coach if you go that way to see the lake) You will see small formations in the salt from where small streams and water flow...
barryg23 Says: Noen of the many mosques we saw in Tozeur were open to us but they were all worth seeing from outside. I lost count of the number of different mosques we saw, actually some times I was probably counting the same ones twice as we walked round in circles. Many of the mosques...
barryg23 Says: As we explored the old town we ended up outside a large mosque, where a local man stopped and told us all about the mosque and the surrounding area. He accommpanied us for a bit, then asked did we want to do a bigger tour. We said no as Ruth couldn't speak French and it was...

barryg23 Says: On our first evening in Tozeur we planned to eat at Restaurant du Soleil, across the street from the hotel. However, when we entered, the friendly owner explained it was closed for renovations and would be reopening the following night. He recommended we try a different...
barryg23 Says: We had more luck at Restaurant du Soleil the second evening as they had now reopened for business. It's a very friendly, family run place. The mother welcomes you at the door while the kids served the (non-alcohol only) drinks. We had a set menu and the food was excellent....
barryg23 Says: After four days of busy exploring and four nights of eating in restaurants that served no alcohol we finally gave in and relaxed a bit in Tozeur. We went to the bar at the Oasis Hotel, one of the few places you can get alcohol in the centre of town. There are bars in all the...
mickebear Says: I don't really have a name, but you find old men selling small woollen carpets on the side of the main square. Nobody forces you to buy anything and people seem to be more like ashamed of having to sell for their living. Very touching - and decent prices. Carpets 1 carpet...
barryg23 Says: In the older parts of town, around Rue de Kairouan, keep an eye out for the doors of the houses. If you look closely you'll see they contain different door knockers. Typically men, women and children have different ones with different sounds (men on the left, women right and...
barryg23 Says: Traditional dress for women in Tozeur is a black gown decorated with a single stripe. You'll notice many of the older women in Tozeur wearing these gowns though some of the younger ones do so too. The stripe is broader on the gown if the woman is married. The gowns...
brazwhazz Says: While most travel guides say that Douz is the place to try out a camel ride, our experience in Tozeur was hard to beat. While we were at the Belvedere Rocks, our newfound friend Chebbi took us to the owner of the camels who seem to hang around the rocks. We were offered a...
brazwhazz Says: After you have seen a few of Tozeur's buildings, it is likely you will want to know more about the bricks that are used to build them. For an interesting look into Tozeur's brick heritage, go to the Belvedere Rocks, where you will find locals able to direct you to the...
barryg23 Says: After spending the morning camel trekking in the desert and the rest of the day exploring the Chott el-Jerid in very high temperatures, we were very tired by the time we reached Tozeur. So instead of doing anything too tiring, we went swimming in the Oasis hotel. It costs...
brazwhazz Says: One of our favourite activities in Tozeur proper was riding bikes in the town's huge palmeraie (palm grove). According to our guide, there are over 200,000 palm trees spread over 10 square kilometres! Needless to say, trying to cover all that area on foot seemed somewhat...
croisbeauty Says: On the first sight, there is nothing much to see in the town of Tozeur, it looks as a buff low-lying town marked only by three minarets. But as you approach you Tozeur's far more distinctive feature, its brickwork. The town is built in the architectural style which best...
JLBG Says: Since the previous picture was taken, the belvédère has been cropped by bulldozers in order to get more space to build new hotels. Moreover, huge heads have been carved, mimicking USA !This picture was taken from one of those hotels that have been built where was a part of...

The oasis of Tozeur is a typical Sahara oasis. It can be very hot. I remind of a former travel in late July, when it was 55°C in the day and 48°C at midnight. Too much ! This time, in March, the...
