Located in the Tozeur Governance of Tunisia, the mountain oasis of Chebika is an amazingly beautiful paradise located at the foot of the Djebel el Negueb Mountains. Often called “Qasr el-Shams,” the Arabic phrase for “Castle of the Sun,” the location truly is a castle or a fortress against the harsh elements of the surrounding desert.
While the Mountain Oasis do have plenty of historical insight behind them, a lot of visitors take to this site in a bid to observe the picturesque scenery that the region provides.
Waterfalls, palm trees and streams are all the norm here, while you can also cast your eye around some of the abandoned cities from the 1960s that now appear as ruins. For any hiking enthusiasts out there, this is a must-visit region.
People have been flocking to this oasis for thousands of years; it was once used by Roman soldiers as an African outpost that they called “Ad Speculum,” or “to the mirror.” You can still see ruins of the ancient buildings that were originally built and have since crumbled under time and the elements.
