As travelers increasingly seek off-the-beaten-path experiences, the oasis city of Tozeur is capitalizing on its Saharan allure to become a leader in Tunisia’s tourism revival.
Nestled on the edge of the Sahara, Tozeur offers a unique blend of desert landscapes, ancient culture, and oasis tranquility. Visitors are drawn to its sprawling palm groves, the breathtaking Chott El Jerid salt flat, and the historic medina with its distinctive Berber architecture.
The surge in interest has triggered significant infrastructure investments. Tunisair Express has launched new direct flights from the capital, Tunis, providing quicker access to the south. Simultaneously, major hotel chains, including Hilton and Accor, are preparing to open luxury properties in 2025, while local guesthouses report a rise in bookings.
With Tunisia anticipating over a million tourists next year, Tozeur is positioning itself as a must-visit destination for adventurers and culture-seekers looking for an authentic Saharan experience.
Tozeur is a town that has a special place in Tunisia’s history and culture. Tozeur is famous for its unique traditional architectures and its Medina with narrow winding streets and Medina’s unique traditional constructions. Tozeur is also a Berber town, so there is a mix of Berber and Arab culture in its traditional constructions. Tozeur Medina is a place to visit for those who want to dig deep in the history of the town and the area around it.
