Hotels near Nefta Airport - TOE, Tozeur

I went there for Star Wars, and got soooo much more out of the place. Our guide took us around and we saw things I never dreamed of Mother Earth or (wo)man being able to produce. It was amazing. Chebika, desert, Tameza, climbing the camel and I can continue... In Tozeur the center is normal Tunisian buzzing without being agressive-buy-from-me. Had some trouble finding a nice place to eat, but the food we found was high quality and the prices absolutely agreeable.

Excellent location and facilities and very pour service. The service and the availability of the items on the menue were deceiving. Most drinks were missing. Poor understanding of orders and the content. And the most appalling is that some staff didn't even bother responding to our requests and when complaint they informed us that the concerned staff will contact us which ofcourse never happened. This hotel is an amazing shell without content.

Tozeur is a city far in the southwest of Tunisia close to the border of Algeria. It has the biggest palm forest in Tunisia where you can walk or ride a bike. It is a must visit destination for Star war lovers because of Mos Espa, a tour worth having. There are also two oasis as well as two flooded villages worth visiting Tamerza and Chebika. Be careful as some tours won’t allow you to visit Tamerza. The private tour with locals in Chebika it’s a waste of dinars 😂. Walk around Chebika on your own. It’s the same thing and you will enjoy it nonetheless. The cascade it’s not a big deal for european travelers but as water is rare to find in places near the desert, for locals its supposed to be a super nice sightseeing. It is included in all tours so just enjoy it. Finally I believe that two days are more than enough for Tozeur. So it’s better to book a day tour that includes all the destinations mentioned above (the oasis , Midas canyon -only for photos and Mos espa and Ong jemel) and have one day left which is more than enough too, to explore the city.

Tozeur is a great place to explore the desert (Mos Espa and Ong Jmal areas). The oasis is great for walks, medina is quite nice and relaxed, and there is Dar Cheraït museum - probably the most extravagant museum I ever visited (in particular the journey through Tunisian history).

A busy bustling oasis town on the edge of the desert, it's not touristy just people getting on with their daily lives. No pressures, no hassle, no problems. There is desert tourism and many tours are available if required. Eden Palm - a date palm plantation just to the south of town is interesting with a guided tour and tastings.

Beautiful medieval city (Medina) on the edge of the desert, fantastic weather in winter and spring, very welcoming people, and tasty local food. Many museums and excursions available.
