A must-see! You are here in an oasis and not a palm grove. The latter is a monoculture of palm trees, while in the oases the cultures are varied. Here it is the culture with three stages: agriculture on the ground, a second stage of fruit trees and finally the palm trees. Huge, the oasis of Tozeur has more than 250 000 palm trees, irrigated by seguias, a network of canals fed by two hundred sources. This irrigation system developed in the 13th century by the engineer Ibn Shabbat allows to calculate the water needs according to the trees and their altitude. The place is enchanting, but given its size, the visit on foot may seem tiring. One can opt for a bicycle or a carriage ride. We enter the oasis by a small road perpendicular to the street Abou-El-Kassel or to the street Ech-Chabbi. We mark a first stop at the necessary Eden Palm which allows to understand everything about the date palm, prodigal tree, its history and its ecosystem. Continuing the walk, we pass a hamlet before arriving at the gardens of Paradise. You will be able to contemplate the whole oasis by following a track that crosses the palm grove and leads you to the Belvedere, a rocky complex west of the city. After climbing a few steps carved in the rock, you will have access to a more global panorama of Tozeur: the yellow sand of the city, the white of the chott, the green of the palm grove... You will be able to see the Sahara. The luckiest ones will even sleep in the heart of the oasis!

TOZEUR : à visiter au printemps ou en automne (trop chaud en été , ai "expérimenté" ! )
Et , si vous y êtes , allez donc visiter cette oasis alimentée par plus de deux cents sources qui sont à l'origine du développement de la ville. ( plus de 250 000 arbres ! ) L'endroit est SUPERBE et enchanteur, que je ne visite , personnellement , pas à pied ( trop fatigant.. pour moi , j'entends ! ) . J'opte pour la promenade en calèche ( pas très cher ! )
Première halte : l'Eden Palm qui recense tous les produits fabriqués à partir du palmier-dattier, arbre prodigue. ( vous avez goûté la Boukha ? alcool de datte ! )
2ème halte : un petit hameau
3ème halte : "le" zoo du Sahara et les jardins du Paradis
4ème halte : le Belvédère, un ensemble rocheux à l'ouest de la ville.
5ème halte : panorama global sur Tozeur, magnifique à tous points de vue : le sable jaune de la ville, le blanc du chott, le vert de la palmeraie... Le regard porte jusqu'au Sahara.
SAHARA , début du Sahara , que j'avais pu contempler à dos de dromadaire , ...
mais ça , c'est quand j'étais jeune . .
N'empêche , j'en garde un souvenir impérissable , . . .
et je vais toujours à Tozeur , en calèche , cette fois
A NE PAS RATER ! !
Visit flawless, preferably with a guide to make a complete tour. The conservatory garden is worth a look.
a small correction has to has your team. the small Muse " treasures of the palmier" in fact it is called " Eden Palm " it tells the treasures of the oasis
