ozeur is a town in southern Tunisia marked by its unique architecture and gathered around the market square.
Tozeur has an extended oasis and a multitude of water courses which flow into a river that irrigates the region thanks to an ingenious system designed by the famous mathematician of the region, Ibn Shabbat.
Tozeur is also famous for its zoo where one gets introduced to the fascinating life of scorpions and snakes.
No visitor leaves this town without the famous "gypsum flower" (Rose des Sables), gathered by the caravanners in the desert, nor does one depart from the town without having admired the ancestral modes of a handicrafts art of making covers out of wool, burnouses (a kind of cloak with a hood) out of camelhair, and baskets out of palm leaf fibers. |
