Southern Tunisia “For unforgettable experience”
Tozeur is an extremely interesting town with a huge palmary, an old town and a museum worth
visiting “Dar Cheraït”. It is also an ideal base for exploring the surrounding desert region.
The beautiful desert landscape around Tozeur has gained prominence in filmmaking and has
provided the backdrop for many scenes from Star Wars and the English Patient.
Without doubt, a stay in Tozeur makes a real Saharan adventure possible .
Golf Oasis Tozeur , a new 18 holes golf course www.TozeurOasisGolf.com , in the heart of the
Sahara. On the edge of desert, the imposing scenery and intense heat combine to offer an
unforgettable experience.
The Ronald Fream-designed course is surrounded by palm trees in order to blend in better with
its surroundings : it overlooks Tozeur's palm grove which is one of the most beautiful in Tunisia.
And its 25 hectares of greens are irrigated with recycled waters so as to preserve the water table.
