Day 4:  Gafsa / Tozeur / Chebika / Tamarza and Mides

Today is a full day of absolutely unique experiences

After Breakfast, you'll travel to Gafsa, where you'll leave the 4x4 and climb aboard Le Lezard Rouge (the Red Lizard). This scenic railroad will take you on a two hour round-trip journey through the Pass of Selja, a narrow passageway through the mountains. The French name for this passage is "Le Coup de Sabre", or The Slash of the Sword. Upon returning to Gafsa and after lunch served in Metlaoui you'll depart for the waterfall at Tamerza, stopping along the way to visit the mountain oasis of Chebika. You'll proceed to Mides, a village located on the border of Algeria

Lunch will be served in Metlaoui 

you will continu to Tozeur and then you will Visit the Two Museums:

You ask for more Detail ..... Clik Here

Dar Cherait Museum an extensive art collection in it and Museum of the Nature

You leave Tozeur and begin the 34-mile crossing of the forbiddingly barren Chott el Jerid. When, thousands of years ago, the Mediterranean flooded much of low-lying North Africa, the hinterland of Tunisia was severely affected, and when the sea eventually retreated into the Gulf of Gabes, it left a legacy of salt lakes, or chotts. Bright sunlight, reflective salt crystals, and the flat surface as far as the eye can see will create interesting images where the map tells us there is only desert. Your destination, straight across the chott, is Douz.

You'll have dinner and Overnight in  Kebili or Douz Fort des Autruches Hotel a 3* with its Thermic Swiming Pool
