Introducing Southern Tunisia
In the south you’ll find the blinding heat and dust of the desert, with landscapes that stretch for miles with wonderful (or awful) nothingness. Life-giving palmeraies (palm groves) grow like tufts of hair mid-desert and promise autumn harvests of sweet dates. Salt lakes shimmer in the sun like mirages. Fortified towns stare from barren hilltops over scarred scrubland. Hot springs offer pampering dips deep in desert towns, and a luxury, desert camp site gives ‘oasis’ a whole new meaning. The isle of Jerba is a fascinating place to be. This is Tunisia’s best.
