Where is Tozeur?

Tozeur is one of Tunisia's most striking locales. Situated to the west of the country, it is nestled between two of the most well-known oases: Chote El Djerid and Gharsa. Tozeur is surrounded by more than 200,000 trees and 325,000 palms, which comprise more than 1,000 hectares watered by hundreds of springs via traditional irrigation systems. The region's signature fruit is the delectable date, commonly called "fingers of light."
