Natural attractions in Tunisia
| Tozeur | |
|---|---|
 The oasis town of Tozeur is capital of the south of Tunisia, a busy market town with its extensive palm grove covering over 10 km². In town, the Dar Charait Folklore Museum has treasures from the Arab world and scenes of simple Tunisian life. Outside of the town, the sand dunes of Neflayet were used in the filming of 'Star Wars' while the desert area of Ong Jmal contains stunning scenery used in the film 'The English Patient'. | |
| Douz | |
|---|---|
The oasis town of Douz is known as a gateway to the Sahara Desert and is the location of the Festival of the Sahara. The souks, camel market and the Sahara Museum in town are worth a visit but the main attraction here is to take a camel trek into the rolling sand dunes of the desert, watch the sunset and camp under the desert stars in a Bedouin tent. | |
| Ichkeul National Park | |
|---|---|
The Ichkeul lake and wetland area in northern Tunisia is an important ecosystem for migratory birds such as ducks, geese, storks and pink flamingos who feed and nest there. It is an area of high biodiversity due to the wide variety of habitats. Ichkeul is the last remaining lake of a chain that once extended across North Africa.
