Tunisia – The oases route

Studded with numerous oases, the south of Tunisia is also a Saharan journey. From one oasis to the next, these green stopovers open themselves up with a sweet coolness to the traveler and evoke the old caravan routes. From mountain oases to those covered in the sands of the dunes, our path crosses those of people whose love for the land is still very strong. An unexpected Tunisia far from the clichés.
