Tour Plan
Your excursion begins with a scenic drive to Chebika, one of Tunisia's most beloved desert oases. Nestled against dramatic rocky cliffs, Chebika is famed for its natural waterfalls and flourishing palm groves. Stroll through the oasis at your own pace, take in the contrast of lush greenery against the arid landscape, and soak in the serene atmosphere that has made this place legendary.
Next, continue to Tamerza, where ancient ruins stand alongside picturesque waterfalls and a rich mountain landscape. Explore the remains of the old village at your leisure and photograph the verdant surroundings that sharply contrast with the surrounding desert. The tranquil streams and layered history of Tamerza make it one of the most captivating stops on the route.
Your final destination is Mides, a dramatic oasis sitting on the edge of the Algerian border. Famous for its deep canyon and striking rock formations, Mides offers some of the most awe-inspiring scenery in all of Tunisia. Take a short, self-guided walk along the canyon rim before wrapping up your excursion and heading back to Tozeur, with unforgettable memories of Tunisia's most remarkable landscapes.
