Visiting the Tozeur Area in Tunisia

Tozeur in Tunisia is best known for Star Wars, now you may be wondering why this is, but Star Wars was not filmed on a distant planet, it was filmed right here on earth, in Tunisia.

You can visit the Star Wars location, such an exciting experience for fans around the world. Visit Luke’s home just outside Tozeur and see the set for yourself.

Of course Tozeur has so much more to offer a visitor than just Star Wars, so it is a great adventure for the entire family. Le Paradis gardens are a top choice, these small gardens are truly magnificent and a welcome break from the hustle and bustle of the city. There is a small zoo next to the gardens to delight children of all ages.

Tozeur is located next to Chott el Jerid lake, offering magnificent beauty and picture perfect scenery. It is also an opportunity to explore the Sahara Desert. The desert makes up a large portion of Tunisia and is a favored tourist destination. You can explore the desert on a camel or in a 4×4 depending on your preference.

Stop at Tamerza Canyon, ideal if you love exploring, hiking or rock climbing. This beautiful area is ideal if you just want to get the camera out, sit back and enjoy the panoramic views.

Tozeur is an oasis town where you will be amazed by the way it sits into the desert location with ease, boasting palm trees among the golden dunes.

Activities
Once you’ve seen all the sights you may want to get a little adventurous. The desert is the perfect location for this, your chance to ride a camel for the first time or surf down a sand dune, take photographs or just soak up the incredible beauty this area has to offer.
