Not only sesame of the desert, like an open door on the wonders of the Sahara, Tozeur is also a very pleasant city largely turned towards its oasis and its thousands of palm trees. It is therefore a basic stage, rudimentary or more luxurious (4 and 5-star hotels abound in the tourist area), from where tours leave in 4x4, with Berber guides turbaned in their colorful chèches. Main city of the chotts region with 40 000 inhabitants, Tozeur did not wait for the development of tourism to make a name for itself.Already known in the Numidian era, it was above all, under the name of Thusuros (Berber queen who gave the idea of brick constructions, thus leaving the name of Tozeur), a border post of the Roman Empire marking the southern limit of the province of Africa. Evolving from a surveillance zone to a trading zone, Tozeur, due to its unique geographical position, will become, in the 14th century, a very important market. After this period of prosperity, it was hit hard in the 15th century by an epidemic. Today, Tozeur is, at the administrative level, the capital of the Djerid region and, at the tourist level, a rich and exciting destination. As soon as you leave the main street lined with stores to go (on the left, looking at the oasis) towards the old districts of the superb medina, you will discover an authentic and secret Tozeur.
