Tozeur is not just a destination — it’s a living canvas painted by sun, sand, and palm trees. Over the course of my journey, I captured more than 5,000 photographs revealing the hidden beauty of this desert oasis. From the glowing dunes to the ancient medina and the timeless charm of Chebika and Tamerza, every corner of Tozeur tells a story that deserves to be seen and remembered.

Is Tunisia safe in 2026? Tourists’ and governments’ opinions

By
  Tunisia between reality and warnings: what should a tourist know? I visited Tunisia after reading travel warnings… and this is the truth This is a review by an unknown tourist My pilot said while taking a picture of me next to the plane: “I’ve never seen anyone this excited to go to Tunisia! I have to take a selfie with you.” I sat in my seat and watched the propellers start spinning. Soon we took off, flying over the Mediterranean Sea between Malta and Africa.

The Decorated Bricks of Tozeur

By
Materials and Local Brickworks From Destination-Tunis.fr (“Visite d’un atelier de fabrication de la brique de Tozeur”): Clay source : The clay used for Tozeur bricks is extracted from areas about 7 km outside the city, near the salt lake Chott El Jerid . Mixture : The recipe is simple but precise: roughly two-thirds clay + one-third sand , mixed with water to achieve the right consistency. Fuel : For firing the bricks, craftsmen use palm wood (cuttings and offshoots from local palm groves), which gives the bricks their distinctive warm color. Production steps: Mixing : Clay, sand, and water are combined manually into a dense paste. Molding : Wooden molds (kept damp so the paste doesn’t stick) are filled, smoothed, and carefully removed to create clean blocks. Drying : The raw bricks are sun-dried, often dusted with ash to prevent rapid cracking. Firing : Once dried, the bricks are fired in traditional oven...
