Tozeur Vacation Packages and Tours

Overview

On a Tunisia vacation, Tozeur is both an oasis and a city found in the southwest of the country. It is a centre for desert tourism and is famous for its many palm trees and the production of dates which have been exported around the world.

The entire desert is about 11 square kilometres with Tozeur at its centre. It was once a Roman outpost and has been ruled by many tribes throughout its long history including the Berbers who have left a lasting impression. The town was also an important stopping point on the trans-Saharan caravan route offering a place to rest before heading further into the desert. When the French arrived, Tozeur resisted the colonial lifestyle and kept its unique architectural style which continues today.
